First you need make:
sudo apt-get install make
Then you try make menuconfig or make xconfig and you get this:
/usr/src/linux# make menuconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
/bin/sh: line 1: gcc: command not found
make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 127
make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2
Then you install gcc by doing
sudo apt-get install gcc
Now you get this error!
/usr/src/linux# make menuconfig

This is a problem of not having enough kernel development tools installed.
You need the ncurses dev package:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
Now try it !
Works like a charm~
