Hi! I'm using separate object directories, but there's trap there which catches me every now and then: (/data/l/linux are my sources, objects are in /data/l/b-linux) Every now and then, I make a mistake and try to make kernel in source directories... that does not work as expected: pavel@amd:/data/l/linux$ time make scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig *** *** You have not yet configured your kernel! *** (missing kernel .config file) *** *** Please run some configurator (e.g. "make oldconfig" or *** "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"). *** make[2]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1 make[1]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 2 make: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf', needed by `include/config/kernel.release'. Stop. 0.55user 0.44system 8.15 (0m8.157s) elapsed 12.30%CPU pavel@amd:/data/l/linux$ ...but it has unexpected side effect of breaking build in object directories: pavel@amd:/data/l/b-linux$ time make make -C /data/l/linux O=/data/l/b-linux/. Using /data/l/linux as source for kernel /data/l/linux is not clean, please run 'make mrproper' in the '/data/l/linux' directory. make[2]: *** [prepare3] Error 1 make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 0.24user 0.18system 5.03 (0m5.032s) elapsed 8.42%CPU pavel@amd:/data/l/b-linux$ This is needed to fix the situation: pavel@amd:/data/l/linux$ rmdir include/config/ Would it be possible to stop the oldconfig before it creates include/config?
