make dep error while compling the kernel??,...Any help..Appreciated. Thanks

Another Montavista user :) This time you're running their Carrier Grade Edition. Why don't you contact their tech support - you've just paid through the nose for it ?

[hint - looks like you're running an old version of make. Type make -v; you should be running release 3.80. ]

With so little information, it is hard to say what could possibly be wrong with your kernel build. I recommend sending a little more information so someone can help you more fully.

Could you please explain: - the source of your kernel (e.g., kernel.org) - which patches have been applied & where did they come from - did you do the required preceding steps including make mrproper to clean up your kernel directories and make (one of xconfig, menuconfig, oldconfig, ...) to set up your configuration settings - why you are doing make dep (instead of just simply make)

Thanks. --Mark
