Subject: perf version not set when building out of tree
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2013 17:31:55 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5272E86B.7090003@gmail.com> (raw)
When building out of tree:
make perf-tar-src-pkg
tar -xf perf-<ver>.tar -C /tmp
cd /tmp/perf<ver>
make -C tools/perf
you get the warning message:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `kernelversion'. Stop.
which comes from tools/perf/util/PERF-VERSION-GEN,
if test -z "$TAG"
then
TAG=$(MAKEFLAGS= make -sC ../.. kernelversion)
fi
There is no top level Makefile. perf is actually built, but has no
version info:
$ tools/perf/perf --version
perf version
I thought someone had proposed a way to fix that.
