I'm on chapter 5.6, Linux-3.19 API Headers, book version 7.7. It is talking
about running make mrproper, but I'm not clear in which directory I should
run it. I've tried a few and the only one it worked in was the
/mnt/lfs/sources/linux-3.19
The cause for my confusion are the two sentences:
Make sure there are no stale files and dependencies lying around from
previous activity
and
Now extract the user-visible kernel headers from the source.
It looks like I should run make mrpoper first and then extract the headers,
however I couldn't find a makefile that has this target except the one in
linux-3.19 directory.
Am I correct in assuming that I need to extract linux headers first and
then run the make mrproper target?
No. The commands are in the correct order.
The key phrase is "user-visible kernel headers". When you extract the tarball,
you get *all* the headers. The make command extracts only those that we want.
