hi,
i am almost fresh in embedded Linux, i
want to test LDD3 examples, for that i install fedora 4 in my VM, i am
unable to compile the kernel, i have set configs using make menuconfig,
and then try to make compile but it gives me? errors like

Thanks

http://kernelnewbies.org is the community's "where do I start" website.
They have mentoring programs that are likely to provide more attention
than you'll get here.

2.6.11. Huh. Quarterly releases, 3.0 would have been 2.6.40, we're now
up to 3.10, so 39 releases ago...
That's almost a decade old. No idea, it could be anything...

You didn't say which kernel version you were trying to build. If it's
2.6.11, most of us aren't going to remember the details it was so long
ago.

Sounds like your version of "make" is too old? The file
Documentation/Changes in the kernel source lists the minimum tool
versions, and I vaguely recall there was a make bug requiring a version
upgrade in the past 10 years...
Yeah, 4 years ago:
commit 2185a5ecd98d2cebc6a29b07b1ea4f7334c2ccc3
Author: Adam Lackorzynski <[email protected]>
Date: Sun Jun 14 22:38:59 2009 +0200
documentation: make version fix
The Makefiles in the build directories use the internal make
variable
MAKEFILE_LIST which is available from make 3.80 only. (The patch
would be
valid back to 2.6.25)

Possibly the version of make in the 10 year old distro is too old?
