Hi there, test-compiling 3.10 resulted in an error in my build chroot. The easily identifiable reason was that a while ago, an additional build dependency on the "bc" was added. This obviously happened in commit 70730bca1331fc50c3caacaea00439de1325bd6e Author: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Date: Thu Feb 14 15:13:55 2013 -0800 kernel: Replace timeconst.pl with a bc script However, the "Kernel compilation" section Documentation/Changes was not updated accordingly and, I am asking you to change this. In my opinion, the documentation should mention that. At least on Debian, the bc package is not necessarily installed - unlike for example the coreutils that are also needed to build the kernel without being mentioned in that document. Cheers, Christoph
can be close, as is mentioned in Changes file.
