| |
Although I like the feature to build a kernel in a different directory a lot, I don't like its syntax. I prefer to just have a build directory where I can run `make whatever'.
The following patch adds a configure script to the kernel. If you run
/path/to/kernel/source/tree/configure
it will create a Makefile in the current directory, after which you can just do `make whatever', just like in the source directory.
The configure script contains a simple protection for when run in the source directory, but this may be approved (I'm not a configure script guru).
Comments?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that. -- Linus Torvalds - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
