Subject: building individual files in subdirectories
Date: Tue, 28 May 2019 14:11:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190528121148.GA18162@lst.de> (raw)

A few kernel modules have source files in multiple subdirectories.
Trying to build just a single object of a source file in such a
subdirectory currently doesn't work.

For example:

hch@brick:~/work/xfs$ make fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.o
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  DESCEND  objtool
scripts/Makefile.build:42: fs/xfs/libxfs/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'fs/xfs/libxfs/Makefile'.  Stop.
make: *** [Makefile:1747: fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_alloc.o] Error 2

Is there any reasonably easy way to get this to work?
