Subject: New kbuild filename: Kbuild
Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2004 21:00:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041028190020.GB9004@mars.ravnborg.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20041028185917.GA9004@mars.ravnborg.org>
kbuild: Prefer Kbuild as name of the kbuild files
The kbuild syntax is unique and does only have very few things in common with
usual Makefile syntax. So to avoid confusion make the filename 'Kbuild' be
the preferred name as replacement for 'Makefile'.
No global renaming planned to take place for now, but new stuff expected to use
the new 'Kbuild' filename.

Most Makefiles within the kernel are kbuild Makefiles that use the
kbuild infrastructure. This chapter introduce the syntax used in the
kbuild makefiles.
+The preferred name for the kbuild files is 'Kbuild' but 'Makefile' will
+continue to be supported. All new developmen is expected to use the
+Kbuild filename.
Section 3.1 "Goal definitions" is a quick intro, further chapters provide
more details, with real examples.
