Hi Folks After building kernels many times these few days I am a bit annoyed by the missing dependencies in our buildtool, e.g. after modifying a Bering-something.cdiff I cannot just build kernel and it will just build the something (sub)arch by honoring all the dependencies. This makes development a pain in the butt.
I am trying to understand the makefiles for multiple subarchs and in some cases I am just wondering why obvious dependencies are not even respected. For example in the .configured target in linux/buildtool.mk there is no dependency on the corresponding .cdiff file. So all the targets are built instead of just the modified one. The recipe builds a linux-something directory and copies the config-something into linux-something/.config So we should have a dependency from config-something to linux-something/.config and hence a dependency from linux-something/.config to staging/../boot/linux-something. Nothing of this sort has been implemented making recompiling a PITA. I won't have much time implementing this in the near term but this is something TODO. cheers ET ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
