Allow "make install" to work even if a file or directory called install exists Signed-off-by: Andrew Worsley <amworsley@xxxxxxxxx> --- This is based on mainline v3.5 version. It's almost trivial except I spent about an hour trying to install the kernel output into a directory install/<architecture> as per other packages I build before I realised the obvious problem! So I thought it was worth submitting to avoid other people hitting this problem: The target install is not marked as PHONY anywhere. diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.build b/scripts/Makefile.build index ff1720d..cf4b970 100644 --- a/scripts/Makefile.build +++ b/scripts/Makefile.build @@ -434,6 +434,7 @@ $(multi-used-m) : %.o: $(multi-objs-m) FORCE targets += $(multi-used-y) $(multi-used-m) +PHONY += install # Descending # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 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
