<p>In order to compile the kernel you will need to install some dependencies. You
will need &lsquo;<samp>libelf</samp>&rsquo; to compile the kernel. If you want to configure using the
menu interface you will also need &lsquo;<samp>ncurses</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"># The package manager asks to install if you are building more than one package,
# so no need to run 'cpt i ...'
cpt b libelf ncurses
</pre></div>

<p>In the vanilla kernel sources, you need perl to compile the kernel, but it can
be easily patched out. You will need to apply the following patch. Patch was
written by <a href="https://github.com/E5ten">E5ten</a>. You will need to obtain and apply the patch in the kernel
source directory.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">wget https://dl.carbslinux.org/distfiles/kernel-no-perl.patch
patch -p1 &lt; kernel-no-perl.patch
</pre></div>
