Subject: make headers_install fail when path is too long
Date: Wed, 06 Mar 2013 12:16:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51372591.1090606@6wind.com> (raw)

This problem has probably already been reported, but I don't find the fix in a 
kernel.org tree and I don't understand why.

Here is the problem:

root@schnaps:/home/rbb/averyveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongpath/linux(master)>make 
headers_install INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/tmp/tmp/
   CHK     include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `relocs'.
make[2]: execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long
make[2]: *** [/tmp/tmp//include/linux/.install] Error 127
make[1]: *** [linux] Error 2
make: *** [headers_install] Error 2

I see that this problem has been reported several times on the web, but I do not 
find why it's not fixed upstream.
Some patches are available: 
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=53cc748b93e8af584557d6db5309c3e955182c5c

Any comment/suggestion is welcome.

Regards,
Nicolas
