But in both cases I am running into errors in making the .config. I have tried with defconfig (make defconfig), xconfig, gconfig, config, etc. all give the same errors. I cloned from repo url's given at kernel.org using the following commands: nohup git clone -v git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git &> linux.log & and nohup git clone -v git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git &> linux-next.log & Here is a what is written (partial from top) to stdout: *** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig' init/Kconfig:237:warning: multi-line strings not supported kernel/irq/Kconfig:75:warning: multi-line strings not supported init/Kconfig:667:warning: multi-line strings not supported init/Kconfig:1216:warning: multi-line strings not supported init/Kconfig:1307:warning: multi-line strings not supported init/Kconfig:1308:warning: multi-line strings not supported And the following (partial from bottom) to stderr: drivers/lguest/Kconfig:15: syntax error drivers/lguest/Kconfig:14: unknown option "If" lib/xz/Kconfig:59: syntax error lib/xz/Kconfig:58: unknown option "Unless" lib/xz/Kconfig:59: unknown option "and" lib/Kconfig:281: syntax error lib/Kconfig:280: unknown option "If" make[1]: *** [defconfig] Error 1 make: *** [defconfig] Error 2 I have verified that I have buildtools, kernel-devel and header packages. Google search and asking on kernelnewbies list didn't help either. Last month I had successfully built the kernel (mainline) for first time on Linux Mint. But here, probably, I am missing something completely.
