Error compiling Linux-kernel - "make: *** No rule to make target. Stop."
by Teso from LinuxQuestions.org on (#566TT)
After Ubuntu 19.10 carried an update/upgrade, the Linux-kernel was updated to version "linux-5.3.0-xx-generic". I uninstalled it with the command:
Code:apt remove --purge *5.3.0-xx* && apt autoremove && apt autocleanI have uninstalled kernels this way many times and never had a problem, everything worked fine.
Now when I try to compile a kernel, I get this error message:
Code:root@linux:/usr/src# make O-/build/linux-kernel/linux-5.7.10-test/ makemenuconfig
make: *** No rule to make target 'O-/build/linux-kernel/linux-5.7.10-test/'. Stop.Apparently files that were needed for compilation were deleted.
I'm not sure how to fix it...
--EDIT--
Before anyone asks this question...
Yes, i installed the necessary dependencies.
