[gentoo-user] Can't build firmware into kernel

2011/12/8 Lavender :

I'm being working out with building KDE environment recently.
Now I need installing Xorg first. As the <The X Server Configuration HOWTO>
says,
if I use radeon card ,then I need emerge radeon-ucode or linux-firmware
package.
Then I need rebuild my kernel with External firmware blobs . My video card
belongs
to radeon 4000 series, so I should add "radeon/R600_rlc.bin
radeon/R700_rlc.bin" as
it says into  External firmware blobs . But when I make, it says that it
can't find files that I specific..
Can anyone help?

Hmm, I re-installed radeon-ucode package and I'm sure that I have R600_rlc.bin cause I canlocate it in /lib/firmware/ and /usr/src/linux/somewhere. But when I use make , the error message like:make[1]: *** No rule to make target `firmware/radeon/R600_rlc.bin', needed by `firmware/radeon/R600_rlc.bin.gen.o'. Stop.make: *** [firmware] Error 2

It's weird, because I think I have done all the Prerequisite correctly, so how could I
fix it out ?
