Wow, that's odd. "make" tries to compute dependencies for kernel drivers, while it isn't supposed to do so when the target is "user". I have no idea why it does this. Can't reproduce it here. Nobody reported a problem with this so far. > Am I guessing correctly that my filesystem isn't organised quite the > way the Makefile is expecting it to be? > > If so, then I can thank Novell/Suse for that... Whatever the problme is, it's not related to the filesystem organisation. Somehow, "make" doesn't behave the way we expect it to. What version of make is it? > How do I fix it? No idea :( > P.S.

We have an IRC channel if you want. freenode::#linux-sensors. -- Jean Delvare
