[PATCH] kbuild: strip the last slash in KBUILD_EXTMOD

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

 



Current kbuild will build the target again if we run "make M=dir" and "make
M=dir/" by turns, since if_changed will see the prerequisite is changed.
The behavior may confuse the user a little, since actually we are building
the same target and no difference.

According to current implementation in scripts/Makefile.build, the obj
passed to next level is a directory name with last slash stripped. This
patch strips the last slash, and slashes in case user doing so, in
KBUILD_EXTMOD which is assigned from "M=".

v2:
   * remote the temp variable __KBUILD_EXTMOD, since this breaks the user
     case
   * use realpath to strips all the slash at the end, then remote the
     common part if it is an in tree build to make it the same behavior as
     previous version
