"Error 2", excuse me wtf am I supposed to do with this information?
downloaded linux kernel and tried to compile, installed all the shit required but noooo error 2 who the fck come up with this shit
what if I wanted to laugh at a funny Linux meme, but see a whingefest with a screenshot of a terminal
There is always more information. Error 2 just means the make script couldn't finish I think. Scroll up :)
It's quite a bad UX, but generally error 2 from make means the called program resulted into an error.
Usually this is accompanied with another error somewhere up the log. Multiple cores can make this a challenge to scan the log for however, so maybe try compiling without the -j argument, that should get the actual error closer to the end.
From my experience, it's usually an outdated config for the kernel (like using a config for 5.1 while compiling 6.7) or a missing dependency. However the real error will be somewhere among the logs, who knows, maybe it's a missing processor instruction (it's really bad UX).
In C exit codes are numbers, in the Makefile it says line nΒ° 2014, error 2 probably has some kind of special meaning, you could take a look and search from there.
