I'm trying to build 3.16 on my Ubuntu 14.04 system, starting with the stock kernel config file. This works just fine: make distclean && git clean -fdx git describe (and check that it is indeed v3.16) make mrproper (just in case) cp /boot/config*24-generic .config yes "" | make oldconfig >/dev/null make But changing that recipe to yes "" | make O=/tmp/$$ oldconfig >/dev/null make O=/tmp/$$ fails with make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/29520' GEN ./Makefile scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig SYSTBL arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/asm/syscalls_32.h SYSHDR arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/asm/unistd_32_ia32.h SYSHDR arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/asm/unistd_64_x32.h SYSTBL arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.h SYSHDR arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h SYSHDR arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_64.h SYSHDR arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_x32.h HOSTCC arch/x86/tools/relocs_32.o HOSTCC arch/x86/tools/relocs_64.o HOSTCC arch/x86/tools/relocs_common.o HOSTLD arch/x86/tools/relocs CHK include/config/kernel.release UPD include/config/kernel.release Using /home/jim/linux-rc as source for kernel /home/jim/linux-rc is not clean, please run 'make mrproper' in the '/home/jim/linux-rc' directory. make[1]: *** [prepare3] Error 1 make: *** [sub-make] Error 2 What am I missing? -- 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
