Compiling the tool when output directory parameter is specified would trigger the following error: make O=/data/test/tmp/ -C tools/power/acpi/ make: Entering directory '/data/src/kernel/linux/tools/power/acpi' DESCEND tools/acpidbg make[1]: Entering directory '/data/src/kernel/linux/tools/power/acpi/tools/acpidbg' MKDIR include CP include CC tools/acpidbg/acpidbg.o Assembler messages: Fatal error: can't create /data/test/tmp/tools/power/acpi/tools/acpidbg/acpidbg.o: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [../../Makefile.rules:24: /data/test/tmp/tools/power/acpi/tools/acpidbg/acpidbg.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/data/src/kernel/linux/tools/power/acpi/tools/acpidbg' make: *** [Makefile:18: acpidbg] Error 2 make: Leaving directory '/data/src/kernel/linux/tools/power/acpi' This is because the output directory has not been created yet. Fix this issue by creating the output directory before compiling.
