I think that the available Documentetion about "REcompiling a kernel" is a little confusing (about the use of "make clean").
EXAMPLES:
source: "The Linux Kernel HOWTO" ...When the configure script ends, it also tells you to `make dep' and (possibly) `clean'...
...For older versions of the kernel, when finished, you should do a `make clean'...
...In any case, do not forget this step before attempting to recompile a kernel.
possibly? only for older versions of kernel? in any case? WHEN?
source: www.linuxchix.org ...Sometimes, you'll change things so much that "make" can't figure out how to recompile the files correctly. "make clean" will remove all the object files (ending in .o) and a few other things...
ok, this seems more convincing...
Can anyone be more clear?
Bye, Paolo
