I would suggest "make install-user" instead of "make install-nodev", combining both -nodev and -nokernel, i.e. excluding everything that requires root permissions. > > > > > o On every "make", the prepare-kernel script is executed - > > intentionally?

The point is that I have a non-developer use-case for your build mode in mind were you do not constantly add files to the xeno code base, but reconfigure your kernel from time to time: We have mini distribution here which can optionally be build from source. In that case, you could soon decide to build ( ) Vanilla kernel (*) Xenomai-extended kernel and libraries instead of ( ) Vanilla kernel (*) Xenomai-extended kernel [*] Xenomai libraries (not to speak about what currently happens in the background...) Could make life of the maintainer and users here a bit easier. Thanks for caring, Jan
