Thanks a lot However, when I just write a Makefile with this: |ifeq ("$(origin O)", "command line") KBUILD_OUTPUT := $(O) endif help: @echo 'KBUILD_OUTPUT: ${KBUILD_OUTPUT}' | Then I run|make O=../build help|, I will see|KBUILD_OUTPUT: ../build|. Is there anything special in kernel's Makefile? _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
