For some reason make thinks it needs to rebuild *conf, when it doesn't. I think the command to build *conf isn't correct, as even if I *do* have write access, it doesn't work. It looks like there is a mistake in the Makefile here: ################################################# # Compiler fixup rules CC += -I$(obj) This sets CC="cc -I." It seems like -I. belongs with CFLAGS, not CC. Then later the build command for making *conf is created: build := srctree=$(KDIR) HOSTCXX=$(CXX) HOSTCC=$(CC) CONFIG_SHELL=$(CONFIG_SHELL) -f $(KDIR)/scripts/Makefile.build obj The part HOSTCC=$(CC) doesn't work correctly, the make command used becomes: make blah blah HOSTCC=cc -I. CONFIG_SHELL=sh blah blah The -I. isn't part of HOSTCC, it's a new -I option to make, telling make where to look for included makefiles. That's not what supposed to happen. Maybe you want to write HOSTCC="$(CC)", but that's still wrong too. The -I. option is for the v4l compile, not for the kernel conf build. Fixing this still doesn't let *conf build, there is something else wrong too. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
