Subject: [patch] Makefile: can't build modules outside the kernel tree if it was built using O=
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 19:30:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <830a8fa70909161930r518a9644ja954ced2ae5814b4@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
in 2.6.31, it is no longer possible to build kernel modules for some platforms
(the ones that need include2) outside the kernel src tree if the
src tree was built using O= to specify an alternate directory for the
build output.
i think this broke with the following commit:
commit b8b572e1015f81b4e748417be2629dfe51ab99f9

powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm
when the platform specific include directories were shuffled around
without updating the
top level Makefile. however, i think this FAIL is generic, and not
limited to powerpc.
here's a patch to the top level Makefile to teach it about the shuffled files:
