Hi All,
(a) The 2.4 kernel's drivers/net/Makefile has 4 lines in the beginning as follows:
obj-y :=
obj-m :=
obj-n :=
obj- :=
Are these lines necessary; they seem to be clearting the variables. What happens if these 4 lines are not present?
(b) Also the TULIP objects are included in the final object using the following rules
ifeq ($(CONFIG_TULIP_,y)
obj-y += tulip/tulip.o
endif
Any reason why the normal rule as shown below is not used
obj-$(CONFIG_TULIP) += tulip/tulip.o
Has it got to do anything with tulip being a subdirectory?
Thanks in advance
Ed
