Hi,
Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt on 2.6.0-test8-bk says:
"Compiling modules outside the official kernel --------------------------------------------- Often modules are developed outside the official kernel. To keep up with changes in the build system the most portable way to compile a module outside the kernel is to use the following command-line:
make -C path/to/kernel/src SUBDIRS=$PWD modules"
However, trying this yields:
"make[1]: Entering directory `/home/muli/kernel/linux-2.5' *** Warning: Overriding SUBDIRS on the command line can cause *** inconsistencies make[2]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date. CHK include/asm-i386/asm_offsets.h Building modules, stage 2. /home/muli/kernel/linux-2.5/scripts/Makefile.modpost:17: *** Uh-oh, you have stale module entries. You messed with SUBDIRS, /home/muli/kernel/linux-2.5/scripts/Makefile.modpost:18: do not complain if something goes wrong. MODPOST make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/muli/kernel/linux-2.5'
What is the correct way to build out of tree modules? if there isn't a correct way, any pointers on how to go about adding support for it?
