| |
I'm having a problem building a Red Hat kernel (kernel-source-2.4.18-10).
It looks a lot like: <http://www.van-dijk.net/linuxkernel/200223/0349.html>
The error message is: make[4]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-10/drivers/pci/devlist.h', needed by `names.o'. Stop.
The fix proposed in <http://www.van-dijk.net/linuxkernel/200223/0432.html> is to reverse the order of clean and dep:
a kind soul pointed out that I should do:
make clean dep make bzimage
instead. Works. Learned a new trick :-)
Now this seems to contradict <http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.3> which specifies, in step 5: bash# make dep bash# make clean
Which is the right order for clean and dep?
I've always assumed that they could be combined, as in: bash# make dep clean Am I wrong?
Where is this documented?
