Title: Can't compile linux-3.8.13-patched
Post by: virtualbox on February 06, 2014, 03:52:31 PM

Hi all.

I want to compile kernel to add reiser4 support. I have compiled successfully a custom kernel before (RAID), but I can't manage to get it work this time (under fresh TC 5.1 install; I tried also under 5.2).

I downloaded linux-3.8.13-patched.txz and config, untared and cd to top. Then executed 'make mrproper' to clean it up before the real work, but it failed :( And I don't understand related error messages.

It said...
/opt/linux-3.8.13-patched/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: trap: line 105: ERR: invalid signal specification
...but please can somebody lead me to right direction what I'm doing wrong.

Not your fault, that script is buggy in that it uses bash features but declares /bin/sh. You can load bash and edit the script header to use bin/bash.
