I want to compily the Linux kernel 2.6 kernel in an alternate place and do not use the Makefile in top directory of kernel. (not different output directory use make O=DIR) For example: I have my kernel source in /home/everest/kernel, and I want to compile it in /home/everest/build with the Makefile in it. Also I need to change some of kernel source to my own directory, I want to develop my own fs in /home/everest/fs and I don't want to modify the code in kernel/fs. So I want to modify a makefile from Linux kernel 2.6 Makefile, but it seens not so easy to me, becaust many rules in Makefile(in top level directory or oher directory like /arch/arm/Makefile) use the PATH only available in CURRENT DIRECTORY. I want to modify only one Makefile and don't affect others. I notice that there is a tag in kernel Makefile: KBUILD_SRC, is that useful for me? But I didn't get how to use this tag and the Makefile only says: # KBUILD_SRC is set on invocation of make in OBJ directory # KBUILD_SRC is not intended to be used by the regular user (for now) Who can tell me how to use it? Thanks very much! Or is there any other to solve my problem? Thanks again! -- Best wishes Everest -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
