Subject: Kbuild files and backwards compatibility.
Date: Tue, 08 Mar 2005 11:19:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1110280783.3466.16.camel@icampbell-debian> (raw)
Hi,
Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt suggests using "include Kbuild" in
external modules Makefile to retain backward compatibility with older
(pre separate Kbuild) kernels.
This doesn't appear to be quite correct:

Using $(src)/Kbuild seems to work, with 2.6.9 at least.
