The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build now contains warnings that look like: egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead. Here are the steps to install the latest grep: wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz cd grep-3.8 && ./configure && make sudo make install export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/mips/Makefile | 2 +- arch/mips/vdso/Makefile | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/mips/Makefile b/arch/mips/Makefile index b296e33..490dea0 100644 --- a/arch/mips/Makefile +++ b/arch/mips/Makefile @@ -318,7 +318,7 @@ KBUILD_LDFLAGS += -m $(ld-emul) ifdef CONFIG_MIPS CHECKFLAGS += $(shell $(CC) $(KBUILD_CFLAGS) -dM -E -x c /dev/null | \ - egrep -vw '__GNUC_(MINOR_|PATCHLEVEL_)?_' | \ + grep -E -vw '__GNUC_(MINOR_|PATCHLEVEL_)?_' | \ sed -e "s/^\#define /-D'/" -e "s/ /'='/" -e "s/$$/'/" -e 's/\$$/&&/g') endif diff --git a/arch/mips/vdso/Makefile b/arch/mips/vdso/Makefile index f72658b..1f7d5c6 100644 --- a/arch/mips/vdso/Makefile +++ b/arch/mips/vdso/Makefile @@ -71,7 +71,7 @@ KCOV_INSTRUMENT := n # Check that we don't have PIC 'jalr t9' calls left quiet_cmd_vdso_mips_check = VDSOCHK $@ - cmd_vdso_mips_check = if $(OBJDUMP) --disassemble $@ | egrep -h "jalr.*t9" > /dev/null; \ + cmd_vdso_mips_check = if $(OBJDUMP) --disassemble $@ | grep -E -h "jalr.*t9" > /dev/null; \ then (echo >&2 "$@: PIC 'jalr t9' calls are not supported"; \ rm -f $@; /bin/false); fi -- 2.1.0
