Dear L4 Hackers,

Following the instructions on the L4Linux website, I did a cvs checkout of

l4linux-2.6 and l4linux-2.6-env

Then, following the "Building" instructions, I cd'd to the l4 directory and typed in "make config", I then selected "Paths and Directories" to /root/drops (I had previously created /root/drops as an empty directory, and chmod'ed it to: chmod 777 drops). I exited "make config", selecting the "save configuration file option.

Back in the l4 directory, I then typed in "make". It ran for several minutes, and finally failed trying to find an included file in a file named generic_io.idl. Shown below are the last several lines of make output preceding and relating to this error:

-make[3]: Entering directory `/root/l4/pkg/generic_io/idl' PWD=/root/l4/pkg/generic_io/idl/OBJ-x86-l4v2 make -C OBJ-x86-l4v2 -f Makefile make[4]: Entering directory `/root/l4/pkg/generic_io/idl/OBJ-x86-l4v2' ...

I checked everything out of CVS on 2/27/2005, PST (i.e., Loa Angeles, California, USA time), except for a recently modified copy of oskit10/kern/x86/pc/i16/i16_real_int.S, which I retrieved on 3/7/05 at about 9:00 P.M., PST (i.e., Los Angeles, California, USA via

"cvs update"

I am using Fedora Core 2 Linux. The following is the output from "cat /etc/fedora-release": Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang)

The following is the output from "uname -a"

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.5-1.358 #1 Sat May 8 09:04:50 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

The following is the output from running oskit10/config.guess: i686-pc-linux-gnu

At the time I did all of these things, I was logged in as root, with root privileges.

Any help / suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.
