[comp.os.minix] Problem using "make"

eichert%uservx.decnet@ddnvx2.afwl.af.mil (USERVX::EICHERT) (02/21/89)

 	I changed the file const.h so that I could use a >29meg partition and
proceeded to run make from inside /fs.  I keep on getting an error saying that
../h/error.h can't be found.  But I can see that error.h is where it's supposed
to be.

	What am I doing wrong?

Yes, I agree it's a nasty error message, due to 'cem' which is running
out of space. Try to 'chmem' /usr/lib/cem to a large value. If I remember
correctly, I changed it to 100K. 
I'm not using a RAM disk at all, so some time ago I doubled the size of
all other compiler stuff in /usr/lib.

Hope this is of any help to you,

You don't mention whether you're using PC Minix or ST Minix, but I wrote 
about a similar problem in ST Minix in trying to recompile the kernel.
Essentially, the cc error messages can become very misleading when not
enough RAM is available. I found that a 512K RAM disk for root is too much
for a 1 Meg 1040 ST. I was able to successfully recompile the kernel only
when I re-did the mkfs for the root partition to a reduced size of 256K.
