Hi, no idea what is going wrong, when i include the output path in obj-m variable? obj-m := out/alex.o <-- works not under 3.18 but in older versions out/alex-y := internal/src/sm36502_uio.o obj-m := alex.o <-- works alex-y := internal/src/sm36502_uio.o I found a diff in /scripts/Makefile.build $(multi-used-m): FORCE <- kernel 3.18 $(multi-used-m) : %.o: $(multi-objs-m) FORCE <- kernel 3.17.8 I'm not sure but the dependencies are lost??? When I set $(multi-used-m): FORCE to $(multi-used-m) : %.o: $(multi-objs-m) FORCE in the 3.18/scripts/makefile.build, all my external modules make files are lucky. I hope that helps to find out what is going wrong and we find a solution how I can use a outputdir in the obj-m variable. --- Alexander -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-modules" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
