How to fix make error “No rule to make target 'menuconfig'” when building a kernel for Beagleboard?
The aim is to build and install the USB Video Class (UVC) module, via make modules_install. I'm trying to configure the kernel via make menuconfig on Angstrom distribution, running on BeagleBoard-xM. Angstrom image (console only) was build on Narcissus online image builder. Angstrom kernel is 2.6.32.
I receive the following error: make: *** No rule to make target 'menuconfig'. Stop.
It seems that there are no kernel sources because usr/src contains nothing. Should I have to download Linux kernel 2.6.32 from kernel.org and what should be my next steps in order to configure the kernel?

Normally the kernel and packages for embedded systems are built with a cross-compiler on desktop/server then they are packaged into one image and finally copied to the embedded system and flashed the SRAM or NAND/NOR Flash.
I personally like the OpenEmbedded distro which is easy to build.
Howto Beagleboard
I 'll have OpenEmbedded in mind. Do you have any suggestion in this case? Thank's anyway.

In your local config you should have the path to~/oe/recipes/linuxwhere you have the regular bitbake build file and configure patches as needed. It's been a while since I touched this. Perhaps it is more convenient to use the build from beaglebone ore some alternatives like emdebian or openwrt debian etc.

You can download it from kernel.org and extract it on /usr/src/ after that you should copy existing kernel config from /boot to /usr/src/linux-2.6.x/.config. You can run :
make menuconfig

Not sure about embedded systems, but menuconfig on x86/amd64 requires ncurses dev files and a few other packages. If you have a known good config at /usr/src/linux/.config it may be easiest to run "make oldconfig"

You can use existing config from /boot/config-2.6.x and copied as .config.Sure, you should install all dependencies when you want to compile kernel from source code.

You can download it from kernel.org and extract it on /usr/src/ after that you should copy existing kernel config from /boot to /usr/src/linux-2.6.x/.config. You can run :
make menuconfig
