| |
Hello Kernel Community !! :-)
I'am compiling lirc software, the kernel source is needed to make them, but when i attemt to make them it fail because the environment variable TOPDIR is not set, looking for the origin of the problem, the script that fail is "pathdown.sh", one tiny script of the kernel, it fails when is trying to assign TP=${TOPDIR:). Reading more i found in the Kernel Makefile the line
TOPDIR := $(shell /bin/pwd)
that command should solve my problem but if i launch them in the console, it give me the following errors in the screen ouput:
bash: shell: command not found bash: TOPDIR:=: command not found
What is the intention of the environment variable TOPDIR and how can i give them a valid value?
Thanks for your help and Good luck!! :-)
