Hi fellow hackers,

I am a newbie here. I am trying to build my first L4Linux-2.6 setup, but failed at building L4Env.

I downloaded and unpacked the following S/W from the L4Env download page:
- l4env-0.2 tarball
- dde-0.2 tarball
- libstdc++.0.2
- oskit-06302003
- oskit10-06302003

I also checked out L4Linux-2.6-env from CVS. I then followed the instructions and did 'make config' and 'make' from inside the 'l4' directory. The compilation eventually failed at building l4/pkg/loader. The linker complained that the library -lcon was missing.

My Linux is 2.6.11 from Mandrake with KDE. My platform is an Acer TravelMate c300 notebook.
I searched the mailing list archive but didn't see similar report of the problem I figure I must be missing some other pieces or having the wrong versions.

By the way, I also got errors when building 'multiboot-smp'. I followed the suggestion to skip the example by creating a null executable. Should I do the same for this example?

Could someone please show me what I did wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help

The last portion of the build log is attached below.
