Hi,

I have a number of Linux boxes, each with different
CPUs of various speeds. For the sake of speed and
storage space, I am experimenting with having a single
source tree from which I can build multiple kernels.
(It really doesn't make sense to force a P200 to
compile its own kernel while its networked P4
neighbour 'twiddles its bits', if you catch my
meaning.) The Linux build process now allows this by
specifying:

make O=<output directory path> menuconfig
make O=<output directory path>
make O=<output directory path> modules_install

You get the idea. The installation procedure now
creates two symlinks:

/lib/modules/<version>/build
/lib/modules/<version>/source

However, the ALSA driver cvscompile script expects
everything to be accessible via the 'build' link,
although the only headers available under
build/include/linux are:

version.h
compile.h
autoconf.h

Would it be difficult to change the ALSA driver
configure script to allow for separate source and
build trees, please?

Thanks,
Chris
