Subject: Makefile for external modules

Hi,

Rumor has it that there is now a simple way to build modules outside
the kernel tree. I'm told that you place a kernel style makefile in
your directory and do:

make -C /usr/src/linux MOD_SUB_DIRS=/my/module/dir modules

It almost works, but loops. What is wrong?

Thanks!

cd /usr/src/linux && make SUBDIRS=/my/module/dir modules

Take a look at loop-AES makefile:
