2006-01-06kbuild: document howto build external modules using several directoriesSam Ravnborg
Update modules.txt with info how to build external modules with files in several directories. The question popped up on lkml often enough to warrant this, let's see if people read this stuff - or google hits it. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2005-12-16kbuild: patch to Documentation/kbuild/modules.txtBrian Strand
First off, thanks for the kbuild docs, they are very useful! Second, I've attached a patch to modules.txt (from 2.6.14.2) with a "compile" fix to a Makefile example, and some trivial spelling/grammar nits. Please let me know if you want the patch in some other format (eg not MIME), or if I should go bother someone else about it. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2005-09-11kbuild: rename prepare to archprepare to fix dependency chainSam Ravnborg
When introducing the generic asm-offsets.h support the dependency chain for the prepare targets was changed. All build scripts expecting include/asm/asm-offsets.h to be made when using the prepare target would broke. With the limited number of prepare targets left in arch Makefiles the trivial solution was to introduce a new arch specific target: archprepare The dependency chain looks like this now: prepare | +--> prepare0 | +--> archprepare | +--> scripts_basic +--> prepare1 | +---> prepare2 | +--> prepare3 So prepare 3 is processed before prepare2 etc. This guaantees that the asm symlink, version.h, scripts_basic are all updated before archprepare is processed. prepare0 which build the asm-offsets.h file will need the actions performed by archprepare. The head target is now named prepare, because users scripts will most likely use that target, but prepare-all has been kept for compatibility. Updated Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
