Top-level Makefile targets 'versioncheck' and 'includecheck' don't need a configured kernel (i.e., don't need a .config file), so add them the the list of "no-dot-config-targets". This eliminates the 'make' error: *** *** Configuration file ".config" not found! *** *** Please run some configurator (e.g. "make oldconfig" or *** "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"). *** Makefile:759: include/config/auto.conf.cmd: No such file or directory Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Michal Marek <michal.lkml@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-kbuild@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- Fixes: I couldn't determine this.
