Subject: One question about top-level Makefile.
Date: Thu, 6 May 2010 11:53:53 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <u2l34f262ce1005052053z1cfe6d1an6c509e847ba4b40@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi, I have a question about the top-level Makefile
# The all: target is the default when no target is given on the
# command line.
# This allow a user to issue only 'make' to build a kernel including modules
# Defaults vmlinux but it is usually overridden in the arch makefile
all: vmlinux
From the last comment, arch makefile will override vmlinux. It seems
vmlinux will not be checked by `make'. But from my test, although
`all:' will be re-defined in arch Makefile (ARM arch), vmlinux will
still be checked and the commands associated will be executed. Should
we use another word instead of "overridden"?
Best Regards
