This causes the prepare3 check to fail, requiring the user to run make mrproper in the source tree to continue with the make. Solution: Add the $(objtree) directory to the %config target. The following is an example of how the Makefile currently can fail. [jkacur@tycho rt.linux.git]$ make mrproper [jkacur@tycho rt.linux.git]$ mkdir /bld/2.6.33-rc3 [jkacur@tycho rt.linux.git]$ cp /bld/config /bld/2.6.33-rc3/.config [jkacur@tycho rt.linux.git]$ make O=/bld/2.6.33-rc3/ oldconfig HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep HOSTCC scripts/basic/docproc HOSTCC scripts/basic/hash GEN /bld/2.6.33-rc3/Makefile HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/kxgettext.o HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig [jkacur@tycho rt.linux.git]$ make O=/bld/2.6.33-rc3/ GEN /bld/2.6.33-rc3/Makefile scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig Using /home/jkacur/rt.linux.git as source for kernel /home/jkacur/rt.linux.git is not clean, please run 'make mrproper' in the '/home/jkacur/rt.linux.git' directory. make[1]: *** [prepare3] Error 1 make: *** [sub-make] Error 2 [jkacur@tycho rt.linux.git]$ ls -ld include/config/ drwxrwxr-x 2 jkacur jkacur 6 2010-01-06 15:58 include/config/ Signed-off-by: John Kacur --- Makefile | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 1231094..7d8d722 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -458,7 +458,7 @@ config: scripts_basic outputmakefile FORCE $(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=scripts/kconfig $@ %config: scripts_basic outputmakefile FORCE - $(Q)mkdir -p include/linux include/config + $(Q)mkdir -p $(objtree)/include/linux include/config $(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=scripts/kconfig $@ else -- 1.6.0.6 -- 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/
