I'm trying to compile an external module and use the O= kbuild option, but it's not working for me:
make -C /usr/ammasso/src/sles9/2.6.5-32smp SUBDIRS=/home/ttabi/sb/starcore/software/host/linux/sys/devccil O=/home/ttabi/sb/starcore/software/host/linux/sys/devccil/obj_2.6.5-32smp_debug make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/ammasso/src/sles9/2.6.5-32smp' /usr/ammasso/src/sles9/2.6.5-32smp/Makefile:438: .config: No such file or directory
WARNING: Symbol version dump
/home/ttabi/sb/starcore/software/host/linux/sys/devccil/obj_2.6.5-32smp_debug/Module.symvers
is missing, modules will have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS disabled.
CC [M] /home/ttabi/sb/starcore/software/host/linux/sys/devccil/devnet.o /bin/sh: line 1: scripts/basic/fixdep: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [/home/ttabi/sb/starcore/software/host/linux/sys/devccil/devnet.o] Error 1
As you can see, it just falls apart. In order to get the effect I want, I have to do this:
rm -rf .tmp_versions ${TARGET_DIR}
mkdir -p ${TARGET_DIR}
${MAKE} -C ${LINUX} SUBDIRS=${CURDIR}
mv *.o *.ko ${TARGET_DIR}In addition to being just ugly, it also has the drawback that it needs to rebuild the entire driver every time I run make. I know I could make it more intelligent, but that's not the point. The point is that I can't get O= to work, and I'd like to know why.
I'm using kernel version 2.6.5-52, as shipped with Suse Enterprise Linux 9.
