            Bug ID: 10506
           Summary: Changing the kernel image type (e.g. zImage to uImage)
                    does not take effect immediately
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2017.02.5
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: gmichael225 at gmail.com
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

I may be missing something, but when I:

 - complete a build by running "make", then
 - change the kernel image type from zImage from uImage, or from uImage to
zImage, then
 - run "make" again

the newly requested image type is not created.

Running "make clean", before "make" does cause the image to be created (but
obviously that's a lot of recompiling!)

--- Comment #1 from Arnout Vandecappelle <arnout@mind.be> ---
Buildroot doesn't automatically rebuild when you change the configuration.
Ideally you should indeed to a clean rebuild (i.e. 'make clean; make').
Sometimes you may get away with a shortcut. In this specific case, 'make
linux-rebuild' will do the job.
