From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx> When building a .deb package with make O=/tmp/b oldconfig cd /tmp/b make bindeb-pkg the build fails with fakeroot -u debian/rules binary *** *** Configuration file ".config" not found! *** *** Please run some configurator (e.g. "make oldconfig" or *** "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"). *** make[12]: *** [/mnt/kernel/kernel/linux/scripts/kconfig/Makefile:69: syncconfig] Error 1 make[11]: *** [/mnt/kernel/kernel/linux/Makefile:544: syncconfig] Error 2 make[10]: *** [Makefile:640: include/config/auto.conf] Error 2 make[9]: *** [Makefile:15: __sub-make] Error 2 because ($MAKE -s image_name) in the subshell is missing KBUILD_SRC and cannot find .config. Passing in KBUILD_SRC= for the current pwd fixes the build.
