I started the compilation of the kernel 5.15.148 on EasyOS 5.7 to create and populate include/config and include/generated directories in the source directory of the kernel (/usr/src/linux-5.15.148).
I assume they are necessary for the compilation of a module (viewtopic.php?p=114268#p114268) (These directories exist in the distro MX Linux)
Instructions followed : https://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/sourc ... readme.htm
Kernel Sources : https://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/sourc ... -20240203/
I installed build-kernel, copied the source tarball in /usr/src.
Then in /usr/src i launched the script 1kernel.sh. The expansion and the patching of the souces was OK.
Then there is a prompt to launch the configuration of the kernel. I just exit the configuration window without mofify anything.
The compilation started. My PC is old and not powerful. After more of 18 hours, not yet finished.
Problem : the size of the directory /usr/src/linux-5.15.148 is already more of 1.7 GB !
EDIT : Compilation finished in over 30 hours. The size of linux-5.15.148 is 2.5GB (according to "du -h /usr/src/linux-5.1.148")
Is not changing the kernel configuration a mistake?
