make[1]: *** No rule to make target `scripts/kconfig/.tmp_qtcheck', needed by `scripts/kconfig/qconf.o'.  Stop.
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2

when I tried to install qt4-qmake through synaptic manager ; an error is displayed saying that tz_data not found.

Solution

Real simple solution:

apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev

It will also install a number of other files. Just say Y. Happy kernel compiling!

First check what pkg;s are available with "sudo apt-cache search qmake". Check if you have the correct ppa in place for installing the dependencies. Alternatively work around would be to use "make menuconfig"
