Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Makefile: build asm-generic before building scripts
Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2013 17:27:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1363739254-9425-1-git-send-email-mmayer@broadcom.com> (raw)
Hi all,
Last week I came across the issue that building "dtbs" for ARM in a recent
(3.9-rcX) kernel fails if it's done in a clean tree, right after "make
xxx_defconfig". I am quite certain that this used to work in 3.8. The error is
"asm/types.h not found". The problem does not happen if "zImage" is built first
and "dtbs" is built second.
Eventually, I found that the root cause seems to be that "asm-generic" is not
a dependency for "dtbs" or, rather, "scripts" in the top-level makefile.
Building target "zImage" will implicitly build "asm-generic", and subsequent
"dtbs" builds will therefore succeed.
The proposed patch adds "asm-generic" as dependency of the "scripts" target.
I don't know if the proposed solution is the best possible. It does, however,
work for me.
Regards,
-Markus
