Hello All, I work on the LKCD project and am facing a problem with extra-y.
LKCD requires an additional target (kerntypes.o) built every time we build LKCD. Our patch adds this line into init/Makefile extra-$(CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP) := kerntypes.o The problem with this is that the target is not built when we build LKCD as a module, as CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is set to "m". I read the kbuild documentation and there does not seem to be anything equivalent to extra-y when it comes to modules. In order to overcome the problem, I used an ifdef-endif wrapper as below. ifdef CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP extra-y := kerntypes.o endif This works fine but I believe the use of ifdefs in Makefiles is frowned upon. Could someone kindly let me know a better way to handle this problem. Thanks in advance! -- Regards, Hari Hariprasad Nellitheertha Linux Technology Center India Software Labs IBM India, Bangalore ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
