From: Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer If you use O=/someotherdir or KBUILD_OUTPUT=/someotherdir on the following architectures: alpha, mips, sh and cris, the build process is probably going to fail at one point or another, depending on the target you used, because make can't find scripts/Makefile.build or scripts/Makefile.clean. The following patch fixes this, I greped the whole tree and these four were the only "offenders" I found. --- 25-akpm/arch/alpha/Makefile | 6 +++--- 25-akpm/arch/cris/Makefile | 2 +- 25-akpm/arch/mips/Makefile | 8 ++++---- 25-akpm/arch/sh/boot/Makefile | 2 +- 4 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff -puN arch/alpha/Makefile~fix-for-266-makefiles-to-get-kbuild_output-working arch/alpha/Makefile --- 25/arch/alpha/Makefile~fix-for-266-makefiles-to-get-kbuild_output-working Mon May 17 13:44:06 2004 +++ 25-akpm/arch/alpha/Makefile Mon May 17 13:44:06 2004 @@ -106,10 +106,10 @@ boot := arch/alpha/boot all boot: $(boot)/vmlinux.gz $(boot)/vmlinux.gz: vmlinux - $(Q)$(MAKE) -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=$(boot) $@ + $(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=$(boot) $@ bootimage bootpfile bootpzfile: vmlinux - $(Q)$(MAKE) -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=$(boot) $(boot)/$@ + $(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=$(boot) $(boot)/$@ prepare: include/asm-$(ARCH)/asm_offsets.h @@ -121,7 +121,7 @@ include/asm-$(ARCH)/asm_offsets.h: arch/ $(call filechk,gen-asm-offsets) archclean: - $(Q)$(MAKE) -f scripts/Makefile.clean obj=$(boot) + $(Q)$(MAKE) $(clean)=$(boot) CLEAN_FILES += include/asm-$(ARCH)/asm_offsets.h diff -puN arch/cris/Makefile~fix-for-266-makefiles-to-get-kbuild_output-working arch/cris/Makefile --- 25/arch/cris/Makefile~fix-for-266-makefiles-to-get-kbuild_output-working Mon May 17 13:44:06 2004 +++ 25-akpm/arch/cris/Makefile Mon May 17 13:44:06 2004 @@ -81,7 +81,7 @@ compressed: zImage archmrproper: archclean: - $(Q)$(MAKE) -f scripts/Makefile.clean obj=arch/$(ARCH)/boot + $(Q)$(MAKE) $(clean)=arch/$(ARCH)/boot rm -f timage vmlinux.bin cramfs.img rm -rf $(LD_SCRIPT).tmp diff -puN arch/mips/Makefile~fix-for-266-makefiles-to-get-kbuild_output-working arch/mips/Makefile --- 25/arch/mips/Makefile~fix-for-266-makefiles-to-get-kbuild_output-working Mon May 17 13:44:06 2004 +++ 25-akpm/arch/mips/Makefile Mon May 17 13:44:06 2004 @@ -686,7 +686,7 @@ vmlinux.64: vmlinux --change-addresses=0xa800000080000000 $< $@ endif -makeboot =$(Q)$(MAKE) -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=arch/mips/boot $(1) +makeboot =$(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=arch/mips/boot $(1) ifdef CONFIG_SGI_IP27 all: vmlinux.64 @@ -708,9 +708,9 @@ CLEAN_FILES += vmlinux.ecoff \ vmlinux.rm200 archclean: - @$(MAKE) -f scripts/Makefile.clean obj=arch/mips/boot - @$(MAKE) -f scripts/Makefile.clean obj=arch/mips/baget - @$(MAKE) -f scripts/Makefile.clean obj=arch/mips/lasat + @$(MAKE) $(clean)=arch/mips/boot + @$(MAKE) $(clean)=arch/mips/baget + @$(MAKE) $(clean)=arch/mips/lasat # Generate
