It is NOT by > magic the kernel version of the kernel you are building... Er, yes. And what's your point? There is _no_ magic that will find the kernel you want to build against today without any input from you. Using the build tree for the currently-running kernel, if installed in the standard place, is as good a default as any. Of course you should be permitted to override that default. You remain free to put your build trees wherever you want -- with the obvious proviso that if you put them somewhere other than the standard place, you need to tell the out-of-tree build process where to find the tree you want to build against. This seems to be entirely irrelevant to the original question. -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
