+For you newbies like me, I had problems using modules.x86.pc.full and modules.x86.pc. There seems to be problems with dyntest. Make sure you pull down and use the modules-light.x86.pc.

 ### <a name="Mach_Interface_Generator"> Mach Interface Generator </a>
 
 To build any Mach kernel you need an interface generator, MiG. To be on the safe side, use the CVS version. If you use Debian, you can install package [mig-i386-gnu](http://packages.debian.org/mig-i386-gnu). If you don't use Debian or want to compile MiG by yourself on Linux/\*BSD system, you must first install Mach headers. In Mach directory do:

+I updated CFLAGS to CFLAGS="-g -O2". Using just -O I was getting errors in the machine\_init function. For newbies like me, the -g is only if you want to enable debugging. The -O2 is Oh 2, not Zero 2.

 **_Building:_**
 
 Instead of using `make kernel` to build kernel, in OSKit-Mach you have to use <code>make kernel-<var>DRIVERS</var></code>, where <var>DRIVERS</var> is <code><var>DRIVER</var>+<var>DRIVER</var>+...+<var>DRIVER</var></code> (a list of drivers separated by `+`). <var>DRIVER</var> can be one of:

 If the `make` command complains about missing dependencies, then you haven't passed correct `OSKIT_LIBDIR` variable to the `configure` script.

+If you receive an error like "No rule to make target Kernel-ide...", there is a patch for an issue with finding the oskit libraries. I will find the URL and post here. Then run configure on gnumach again with the option --with-oskit="path to oskit libraries".

 If you want to use tftp to download the kernel from Grub and don't care about the symbols I recommend either stripping or removing the `--enable-debug` and `-g` statements.
