It seems you introduced a new bug by adding '-a' to cp as well as '-f', causing the files to keep their owner after installation. If you do
$ make installable -f Makefile-2.5 ... $ su # make -f Makefile-2.5 install depmod rightfully complains that the modules don't belong to root. When testing this, I noticed that 'make install' did not rebuild the global makefile after I change /Makefile.in as root. It warns 'Using existing global Makefile for install, writing is disabled when installing as another user', but does not stop with 'KBUILD_WRITABLE is false, giving up' as I expected. Is this correct? Arnd <>< _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes? SourceForge.net is looking for download mirrors. We supply the hardware.
