To address your actual question (sorry, I meant for the first reply to be in your other thread, though it is related), when you make clean a package it will remove the source from build_dir and extract the tarball from dl. So, if you make any changes to the extracted and patched source directly in the build_dir and then make clean, your changes are deleted.
You should use the quilt process documented in the wiki; it has tips for recompiling a package to test your changes without having to make clean. Also, please try the quilt steps I posted in the first reply... they should work, and using quilt to do this will make your life much easier :) On Fri, Oct 7, 2011 at 10:58 AM, abhinav narain <[email protected]>wrote: > When I modify the files in the following folder and make deliberate syntax > errors > and then do a make > $make package/mac80211/{clean,compile} V=99 > > folder : openwrt/src/klatch/*build_dir*/*toolchain-mips_r2_gcc* > -4.5-linaro_uClibc-0.9.32/linux-2.6.39.4/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k > > I don't get any compilation errors ! > I tried modifying and writing syntactically wrong code in other folder > also, but no compilation errors, > openwrt/src/klatch/*build_dir*/*linux-ar71xx_generic* > /linux-2.6.39.4/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k. > > > Which source file shall i make changes to ? > Does Openwrt take the files directly from dl/ folder and untars it every > time it compiles ? > > Please help in resolving the issue > > Abhinav > > _______________________________________________ > openwrt-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel > >
