I found KBUILD_OUTPUT variable is useless in the rpm-pkg and rpm target. Yes there is a comment said: # Note that the rpm-pkg target cannot be used with KBUILD_OUTPUT, # but the binrpm-pkg target can; for some reason O= gets ignored. It does not say for what reason. Also, the code under rpm-pkg checks if KBUILD_OUTPUT is defined. > @if test -n "$(KBUILD_OUTPUT)"; then \ > echo "Building source + binary RPM is not possible outside the"; \ > echo "kernel source tree. Don't set KBUILD_OUTPUT, or use the"; \ > echo "binrpm-pkg target instead."; \ > false; \ > fi But the fact is, whether or not the user use "O=" option, KBUILD_OUTPUT is always empty. I try to figure out why but the big Makefile drives me crazy. I'm thinking if the "O=" option really don't effect KBUILD_OUTPUT here, at least remove these code. -- Bin Wang -- 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
