Hi,

I am trying to compile OE3.2 with the Linux Kernel 3.16 and I got the following error.

scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
***
*** Configuration file ".config" not found!
***
*** Please run some configurator (e.g. "make oldconfig" or
*** "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig").
***
make[3]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1
make[2]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 2

The present kernel configuration has modules disabled.
Type 'make config' and enable loadable module support.
Then build a kernel with module support enabled.

make[1]: *** [modules] Error 1


Can you help me to overcome this error?

Thank you in advance!

Most likely to do with the fact that 3.2 is ancient and unsupported.

Current is 4.2.1

When I have compiled openelec I usually use their own forum for questions. Try there, but I guess you'll probably get the old "3.2 is no longer supported, WTF are you doing that".
If I have helped you or increased your knowledge, click the 'thumbs up' button to give thanks :) (People with less than 20 posts won't see the "thumbs up" button.)

Actually, the answer is in the error you posted !!

You need to 'make menuconfig' on the kernel before you build it, and enable loadable module support. Then build the kernel, and then see if OE will build with it. Note that you need the ncurses stuff installed to use menuconfig.
Learning Linux the hard way !!
