Can't compile kernel(gcc no plugins)

[Rigamortus]

I'm trying to compile grsecurity-3.0-3.14.12-201407170638 with linux kernel 3.14.12.
Patching was easy, makeconfig let me do my thing with grsec, but this last command to actually compile is what went wrong:

make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version "grsec1.0" kernel_image

Which threw me this

Code: Select all

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/linux-3.14.12'
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
Makefile:647: *** Your gcc installation does not support plugins.  If the necessary headers for plugin support are missing, they should be installed.  On Debian, apt-get install gcc-<ver>-plugin-dev.  If you choose to ignore this error and lessen the improvements provided by this patch, re-run make with the DISABLE_PAX_PLUGINS=y argument..  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/linux-3.14.12'
make[1]: *** [debian/stamp/conf/kernel-conf] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/linux-3.14.12'
make: *** [debian/stamp/conf/minimal_debian] Error 2
Failed to create a ./debian directory:  at /usr/bin/make-kpkg line 984.

If you get this error copy and paste this:

apt-get install gcc-4.7-plugin-dev libgmp-dev libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev

then try and it'll work!

Well, is gcc-4.6-plugins-dev installed?

I'd also make sure that 4.6 is the default compiler, on Wheezy you can have 4.4, 4.6, and 4.7 installed, and I believe 4.7 is the default. If so, just install gcc-4.7-plugins-dev.

I solved it, Kernel compiled 2 hours later Will post the solution soon so others can benefit.

i installed gcc, that didnt solve the error, could u post how u resolved?

Assuming gcc 4.7 is your default compiler (type gcc -v in a terminal and see what version is returned):

Code: Select all

su -c 'apt-get install gcc-4.7-plugin-dev'

It's also a good idea to create a header package along with your kernel.

Yeah this indeed fixed my problem!
