Can someone clarify the difference(s) in these variables, please? Documentation/kbuild.txt says about objtree: $(objtree) is the directory where output files are saved. The output directory is often set using "O=..." on the commandline. Documentation/makefiles.txt says about obj: $(obj) $(obj) is a relative path which points to the directory where the target is saved. Always use $(obj) when referring to generated files. These appear to be the same to me, but let me be more specific: In some cases (or places), Documentation/DocBook/Makefile uses $(obj) and other cases/places, it uses $(objtree). Does it have these correct, or should some of them be fixed? thanks, -- ~Randy -- 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
