After doing an "svn up", I can't compile any more.

Prerequisite check failed. Use FORCE=1 to override.

Retrying with FORCE=1 V=99 requires to answer some kernel config questions manually

Automatically split rootfs partition for squashfs (MTD_SPLIT_ROOTFS) [Y/n] (NEW)
Max IDE interfaces (IDE_MAX_HWIFS) [4] (NEW)
Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support (BLK_DEV_IDE) [N/m/?] (NEW)
Old hard disk (MFM/RLL/IDE) driver (BLK_DEV_HD_ONLY) [N/y/?] (NEW)
AHCI SATA support (SATA_AHCI) [N/m/?] (NEW)

and many more...

Compiling on OpenSUSE 10.2
There's no documentation on what's required to compile kamikaze.

The last time of a successful compile was some version with a 2.6.22-rc5 kernel...

Any hints?

Pretty old topic, yes...but nothing has changed on the docs yet.
The ppl that develop the build environment should know what is needed though....

Well, I figured out that you at least need make v3.81 (nice if someone could add this to the wiki).
Using v3.80 I got error messages complaining about "missing endif"s even with a simple "make clean".

Now with that prerequisite fullfilled, I still can't make an image:

Any ideas on what other prereq I need ?!

try removing tmp/ in your buildroot then do a make menuconfig

Yes that works, I figured that today :-)

Also, Python AND Paython devel libs are another prerequisite.
After installing the Pyhton devel libs, I could finally build an image from the current trunk.....and bricked my WRT54G3G with it :-)

Luckily the pin15-16 flash shortcut method works exceptionally well.
The Official 7.09 build works on my box....I hope I can at least use the kernel module packages I compiled from the trunk.

Thx,
