[PATCH v3] modules_install: make missing $DEPMOD a warning instead of an error

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

 



From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When $DEPMOD is not found, only print a warning instead of exiting
with an error message and error status.

Warning: 'make modules_install' requires /sbin/depmod. Please install it.
This is probably in the kmod package.
