I am trying to config the default kernel:

$ mkdir ˜/kernelbuild

$ cd ˜/kernelbuild

$ wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux -5.0.5.tar.xz

$ tar -xvJf linux -5.0.5.tar.xz

$ cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) ˜/kernelbuild/.config

$ sudo apt-get install fakeroot ncurses-dev xz-utils bc flex libelf-dev bison

Then

$ make nconfig

and get error

"cannot access 'Makefile': No such file or directory"

Have read this. And I got:

ls Makefile

Any suggestion to what I'm gonna do next?

    you look inside the directory that came from the tarball. Also, please don't post images of text, esp. that blue on black is somewhat hard to read. (even if it is used by default in some Linux distributions.) – ilkkachu Sep 12 '21 at 20:13
  • The kernel archive unpacked into its own subdirectory. You can see this directory in the output of ls. The Makefile is in there along with all the kernel source. – Useless Sep 12 '21 at 22:26

There is no Makefile in ˜/kernelbuild, you need to change directory to ˜/kernelbuild/linux -5.0.5:

cd ˜/kernelbuild/linux -5.0.5
make nconfig

Try $ make with out nconfig. I see you are trying to compile kernel, for my self i found this link helpful: https://www.linux.com/topic/desktop/how-compile-linux-kernel-0/
