For those of you having problems with lguest as stated bellow:

cc -m32 -Wall -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -O3 -I../../include -I../../arch/x86/include -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE lguest.c -o lguest
lguest.c:21:25: error: sys/eventfd.h: No such file or directory
lguest.c: In function ‘create_thread’:
lguest.c:1021: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘eventfd’
make: *** [lguest] Error 1

This is apparenty due to the old libc-dev package that Lenny comes with. Since libc isn’t exactly a good candidate for a selective upgrade I helped myself with simply editing Documentation/lguest/Makefile and changing:

all: lguest

Files are in /home/user/linux-2.6.36.1/

Where must be created *.deb after finish????

the lguest sys/eventfd.h problem solved when I turned off

“Processor type and features”:
“Paravirtualized guest support” = N

lenny still have older libc6 which omits sys/eventfd.h

where:
….”error: zlib.h: No such file or directory”….

install zlib1g-dev package and make-kpkg again

@Rich Hartley: They’re not separate programs but features of make.

great info, but where do we get gconfig or xconfig because it’s not in the repos.
