Re: [ANNOUNCE] kvm-74 release

Hi,

Given a kernel tree originally built using the O= method, what's the suggested
way to build the external modules ?

I've tried giving configure a --kerneldir of both the original tree and the
O= tree, along with passing the O= option to make and/or configure. So far
without success.

qemu parts all seem to build fine, errors start with:

make -C /home/ilp/kernels/v2.6/linux-2.6.26-org M=`pwd` \
                 LINUXINCLUDE="-I`pwd`/include -Iinclude -Iarch/x86/include -I`pwd`/include-compat \
                 -include include/linux/autoconf.h \
                 -include `pwd`/x86/external-module-compat.h"
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/ilp/kernels/v2.6/linux-2.6.26-org'
   LD      /home/ilp/kvm/kvm-74/kernel/x86/built-in.o
   CC [M]  /home/ilp/kvm/kvm-74/kernel/x86/svm.o

quickly followed by several screenfuls of stuff due to not being able to
find some of the kernel include files.

I don't have enough understanding of kernel makefile magic to see what I'm
missing, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Iain
