Hi Andrew; is there a possibilty to divide the proposal below in two or more steps, so we can test, work with and get more experienced?
Like 1) add three targets, including cleaning each target (and it's dependencies) 2) add building different kernel and modules kp Am 23.04.2013 21:59, schrieb Andrew: > Hi all. > > Now we have building of toolchain, userlevel apps and kernel (with > modules) as similar targets, with same logic.
