[PATCH 4.4 17/73] tools: Support relative directory path for O=

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e17cf3a80d4ba0c4e40bf1a89deb1354c2e10e14 upstream.

Running "make O=foo" (with a relative directory path) fails with:

  scripts/Makefile.include:3: *** O=foo does not exist.  Stop.
  /home/jpoimboe/git/linux/Makefile:1547: recipe for target 'tools/objtool' failed

The tools Makefile gets confused by the relative path and tries to build
objtool in tools/foo.  Convert the output directory to an absolute path
before passing it to the tools Makefile.
