Hi, How to specify a build directory for a kernel module that is not part of the kernel source tree? Example: I have src/kernel/file.c and I need src/build/file.o instead of src/kernel/file.o after compiling the kernel module. I am working on a project where some of the source files (*.c) are used both in kernel space and in user space (everything is stored in a single source tree). I do not want the *.o built by the kernel to be overwritten with the *.o built by autotools. The current solution deploys symbolic links and I feel there might be a better way. But looking through the makefiles.txt and google did not reveal anything to me. BlackHole -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.

You can try "make O=~/otherdirectory". and you will find more from greg kh's "linux kernel in a nutshell" . BR LiYanbo -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
