Yes, it seems the root Makefile is being overwritten.

On a cleanly extracted 2.6.10 kernel, when i run "make menuconfig" i get the following:

[root@linux linux-2.6.10]# make menuconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/split-include
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/docproc
  GEN    /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-ck1/Makefile
  SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.h
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/mconf.o
  SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c

Note the "GEN /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-ck1/Makefile".
Is this the problem?

Thanks again.

Looks like you are using either make O= or have set KBUILD_OUTPUT to
/usr/src/linux-2.6.10-ck1.

But that does not explain it.

Where does the path "/usr/src/linux-2.6.10-ck1" come into the picture?

Check your Makefile. It looks like 'make O=...' was executed in the
wrong directory, thus overwriting the original Makefile.

2.6.10 make script problems

[Mark Williams (MWP)]

Hi all,


First... im not on lkml, so can you please CC replies back to me, thanks.


This is a werid one...

On running "make menuconfig" for the first time on a freshly extracted
"linux-2.6.10.tar.bz2" everything works fine.

>From then on however, running "make" in any form ("make bzImage", "make
menuconfig", etc) brings on this:

[root@linux linux-2.6.10]# make bzImage
make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.10 O=/usr/src/linux-2.6.10 bzImage
make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.10 O=/usr/src/linux-2.6.10 bzImage
make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.10 O=/usr/src/linux-2.6.10 bzImage
make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.10 O=/usr/src/linux-2.6.10 bzImage
make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.10 O=/usr/src/linux-2.6.10 bzImage
....

which continues until i ctrl-c.

I am running "GNU Make version 3.79.1", and all previous versions of the kernel
(2.6.9, 2.6.8.1, etc) have all built, and still do build perfectly.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
 Mark Williams.
