| |
Hi,
I am facing some problem understanding and using the kernel Kbuild system. I tried googling but not much of help.
Thanks to a good kbuild documentation in the tree. It looks like $(LD) -r is not able to do what it is supposed to do. May be i am doing something wrong?
here is a brief summary of what i am doing -
I added some .c files to a new dir under net/foo/ . Added corresponding .h files to a new dir under include/foo/
Create a Kconfig and Makefile in net/foo/ directory. Added corresponding entries to Makefile and Kconfig in the net/ dir.
I happily executed a make with a beaming face after selecting the foo option after doing a $make menuconfig.
To my surprise i got this error :-
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux.lds', needed by `__build'. Stop
So , here is the question in short...
What do i need to change and where to make sure this thing vanishes away and kernel compiles as usual like it always did earlier?
Any pointers? PS:- I am not subscribed to the LKML,please CC me while replying to the list.
thanks --pradeep
