kbuild-2.5-core-11 Changes from core-10. Redo the passing of kbuild variables to $(shell) commands. Require make 3.79.1 for kbuild 2.5. The make 'export' command does not export the variables to $(shell) commands, which makes it messy when those commands need to access the variables. The workaround for this was a bit hackish and a core-10 change broke with common source and object. core-11 uses a new method of passing the kbuild variables to $(shell) commands. It is cleaner, but it requires features that are not available in make 3.77. make 3.78 should work but since 3.79.1 has been out for almost two years and is being used by any recent distribution, the code says that make 3.79.1 is required for kbuild 2.5. An update to 2.5/Documentation/Changes has been submitted. Linus has already done 2.5 changes that require make 3.79 features, the Changes update is overdue. _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
