Hallo, The x86-64 port is reusing several source files from the i386 port. Originally in 2.4 this was done using symlinks created in the Makefile; but that was changed in 2.6 when the separate obj directory support was added.
Currently it uses e.g in arch/x86_64/kernel/Makefile for the cpuid driver: obj-$(CONFIG_X86_CPUID) += cpuid.o cpuid-$(CONFIG_X86_CPUID) += ../../i386/kernel/cpuid.o This works fine as long as cpuid.o is linked into the kernel. But when it is compiled as a module it breaks (Makefile cannot find the source). This variant works for the modular build: obj-$(CONFIG_X86_CPUID) += ../../i386/kernel/cpuid.o but breaks when cpuid is compiled in. Is there a way to do this for both cases short of checking the CONFIG using ifeq() or making cpuid a bool instead of tristate? Problem occurs in 2.6.0test9 Thanks, -Andi ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: ApacheCon 2003, 16-19 November in Las Vegas.
