Fwd: [RFC] kbuild: Build samples directory with make modules

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Is there any specific reason that this patch is ignored still yet?
Compiling the uImage and modules together add the support of samples?
Shouldn't it be compiled as a module separately and that is correct
behavior in case of if samples are compiled as loadable modules?

Thanks,
Mohsin Kazmi
