Is there any hope to over come it? Thank you.

What was your output of checking dependencies?

Also, do you have the kernel headers installed?

First - thanks for the write up, it is well done.

Now for a question - assuming a noob missed the caution and skipped step about selecting a fully preemptive kernel in the kernel config , built a "bad" kernel and then proceeded to muck up the kernel build by trying to build on top of the 1st one....

How can I clean up the mess? Are there a few short commands I can type to remove all the files, as I'm not sure what it has put where...

Regards,
Mike

Without going back and checking the commands you missed, you probably just need to do a
"make clean"
which will erase all of the files the compiler created. Then run the make process again so it rebuilds everything.

Mikeross

Just build another one and install it. It will then list two of the same kernel. Then you can uninstall the earlier version in package manager don't forget this time tho to select fully preemptable kernel.

Edit: make sure to run a make clean before trying to rebuild.

''source code'' was checked regularly in accordance with instructions. Kernel made successfully w/o any comments. Linuxcnc was compiled in RTAI kernel within LMint MATE 18.1.

No error reported regarding dependencies. You are right, I was trying first to get master 2.8.0 pre, the same (similar) massage appeared. I thought, could be, because of master. I restarted and did "git checkout 2.7". Nothing was reported wrong. Having put "debuild -uc -us" building started and at some point compilation was terminated as previously posted.

Kind regards,
