So something liike make C=1 CHECK="scripts/checkpatch.pl" CHECKFLAGS="--quiet --file" fails when checkpatch is passed lots of arguments like -D__linux__ -Dlinux -D__STDC__ . A little shell wrapper to grab the last argument in that long list is a workaround, but perhaps CHECKFLAGS should be made less sparse-specific? -- Jim -- 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
