build: Allow to install over dirty dir
Before commit e98cef6f3f8c ("make: install/uninstall tools symlinks to kmod") it was possible to call `make install DESTDIR=<dir>` multiple times. Use `ln -sf` so the symlink is always re-created. It would be preferred to remove install in an empty dir, but there's not a bad consequence of re-using the same, so let the user decide. Fixes the following errors while installing for the second time: ln: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/inst/usr/bin/insmod': File exists ln: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/inst/usr/bin/lsmod': File exists ln: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/inst/usr/bin/rmmod': File exists ln: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/inst/usr/bin/depmod': File exists ln: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/inst/usr/bin/modprobe': File exists ln: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/inst/usr/bin/modinfo': File exists make[3]: *** [Makefile:2679: install-exec-hook] Error 1 make[2]: *** [Makefile:2553: install-exec-am] Error 2 make[1]: *** [Makefile:2439: install-am] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:1848: install-recursive] Error 1 Cc: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com> Closes: https://github.com/kmod-project/kmod/issues/35 Reviewed-by: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240306145804.135709-1-lucas.de.marchi@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.de.marchi@gmail.com>
