Hi,

I've been trying to compile openmoko kernel and I can't even start
because of this dummy error:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ./build dummy
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/arm/Kconfig

scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/arm/Kconfig
 CHK     include/linux/version.h
/bin/sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
$
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've followed the instructions
(http://git.openmoko.org/?p=kernel.git;a=summary and
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Toolchain#Downloading_and_installing).
Downloaded the toolchain from
http://downloads.openmoko.org/toolchains/openmoko-i686-arm-linux-gnueabi-toolchain.tar.bz2
and unpacked it to the standard location /usr/local/openmoko

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.

I must be missing something.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Rui

PS: sorry for the duplicate message.
