Re: Anyone able to build Joe's mol-0.9.71_pre6 on ubuntu?

Hi Bin, et. al.,

You were right that compiling a vanilla kernel got me passed the 
problems I was having building.  Unfortunately, the ubuntu team must 
have included some magic in their kernel that I need for networking, and 
probably some other stuff.  I am still getting hung up making the tun 
driver.

+ Entering netdriver
make[4]: *** No rule to make target 
`/home/frohro/mol-0.9.71_pre6/obj-ppc/build/src/netdriver/tun.c', needed 
by `/home/frohro/mol-0.9.71_pre6/obj-ppc/build/src/netdriver/tun.o'.  Stop.
make[3]: *** 
[_module_/home/frohro/mol-0.9.71_pre6/obj-ppc/build/src/netdriver] Error 2
frohro@frohne:~/mol-0.9.71_pre6$ cd netdriver

If anyone has any advice on this issue, I'd like it.  :-)

I am right now downloading the CDs with the ubuntu source on them.  It 
looks like the only way to get the source to their kernel, and there are 
four CDs with no directory listing so I don't know which ones I need.  I 
am hoping that if I re-build their kernel, I should be able to get mol 
going.  If I do, I will update the ubuntu wiki with directions on how to 
do it.
