[mythtv-users] Mandrake 9.1 LIRC headaches

UGH!!!

I have been trying all night to get a custom kernel compiled for a new 
version
of LIRC, and I am getting nowhere.  I know MDK9.1 LIRC is broken, so
I was trying to recompile the kernel with serial port modularized before I
install the new LIRC, and I can't get the dumb kernel compiled!  It keeps
failing on make dep with an Error 2, it can't find some file related to 
LIRC.
 
Below is a note I sent to the mandrake list:  anyone see any problems?

Running MDK9.1.  Having a lot of problems recompiling.
I need to recompile to get LIRC running, before anybody asks why
I need to recompile...

Steps I've taken so far:

cd /usr/src/linux as root
make mrproper
make menuconfig

switch the character devices setting under 16550 UART from built-in to Module
Save the config file

make dep, which gives a bunch of stuff then 
some errors about missing files and directories that used to exist for LIRC, 
OK, I removed them until the new LIRC source is downloaded.
Last line is make: *** [dep-files] Error 2

Then, I run make clean, runs ok.

Then, I run make bzImage, which runs for a couple seconds, then enters 
/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-13mdk/kernel, says No rule to make target 
modversions.h, needed by sched.o.  Stop.
Error 2.  

And that's it.  


Thanks,
Mark
