(Remove out of date Ubuntu information)
Line 1,207:
 
If you receive odd errors during the build, you may have made a mistake during manual copying, perhaps missed a file, forgotten to make a file executable, or bugs in the highlighting software we use cause unintended whitespace to appear. Perform a git repository clone as described above, and use that code instead, or compare the two directory trees with the <tt>diff(1)</tt> diff command line utility. If you made personal changes to the code, those may be at fault.
 
'''Note:''' Debian-based distros such as Ubuntu (and quite possibly many others) are still using old versions of Make (3.81 at the time of writing) in their package repositories, and these versions do not support the use of the != syntax utilized by the makefile. To mitigate this, you can either
 
# Build the latest version of make from source (probably for the best), or
# modify the Makefile in ./kernel/ to replace
 
<pre>
DEFAULT_HOST!=../default-host.sh
</pre>
 
with
 
<pre>
DEFAULT_HOST := $(shell ../default-host.sh)
</pre>
 
Doing either of these should allow the build to work as expected.
