Re: [Mactel-linux-users] Compiling Linux

[Jelle De L. <sk...@ki...>]

I never knew it was possible (to create a loop while compiling) but yes, 
that seems to be the case, as stated on this blog:

http://www.zoomthingie.com/wordpress/?p=13

Apparantly the date on the atv is wrong and the date of the sourcefiles 
is in the future so the compiler doesn't know what to do with them.

I just did "date 082906272008" to set the correct date and it worked! My 
current genkernel is actually producing some feedback
(because I'm running this command, with logging: genkernel --loglevel=5 
--logfile=genkernel.out --kernel-config=/usr/src/config-2.6.24.3 all )

I wonder if the author would change the wiki to update this, as I'm (at 
least) the second user to fall in this trap.

Thanks for your help, everyone.
