RE: [Xen-users] Make error

["Ian Tobin" <itobin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

sorry, you want me to go to linux-2.6.18-xen directory and run

 

"make mrproper O=/usr/src/xen-3.1.0-src/build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_32"

Try "make mrproper
O=/usr/src/xen-3.1.0-src/build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_32" in your "linux"
directory.

No guarantees, but I think that's what the problem is.
