INSTALL_PATH question: Makefile bug?

INSTALL_PATH question: Makefile bug?

[Michael Grimborounis]

Hi,

I have a question regarding the way INSTALL_PATH is set up in the top
level Makefile. I can pass a value or uncomment it, like the comments
in the makefile suggest. But then if INSTALL_MOD_PATH is undefined,
INSTALL_PATH is unset by the following statements:


ifndef INSTALL_MOD_PATH
INSTALL_PATH=
endif
export INSTALL_MOD_PATH


It seems that if I don't define INSTALL_MOD_PATH, there is no way for
me to pass a path for the kernel and map images. Is this the intended
behaviour or is it a bug? Should that have been "INSTALL_MOD_PATH="?

I have checked latest 2.6 kernel, and the 2.4 kernel src that I had
lying around. In neither of these I could fine the above statements.

Hm, yes, you are right. This has been fixed already. It somehow did not
make it into my local tree. Thank you and sorry for the noise :-(
