Hi, [Please retain the CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that the Debian Bug Tracking system can record your input]
This has been reported by a debian user. I have confirmed that the problem exists with the latest Linux make and the kernel source, (2.4.17 at the time of writing). I thought perhaps the locale was to blame? I would suspect that Psztor probably uses a non C, non English locale, and I am currently running under en_US.UTF-8, but I get the same (bad) results even in the C locale. So, tested bad: C, en_US.UTF-8, de_DE. However, others, running under spanish and de.DE.ISO-8859-1 find that the output is sane. I am at a loss as to how to proceed to further define this issue -- perhaps the locale this is a red herring. manoj ====================================================================== With a 2.4.5 or 2.4.13 kernel source, make -np produces garbage upon substituting filenames when making modules and works properly when making symlinks. sample output from make -np symlinks: ----------------------------------------------------------------- # Variables # default F77 = $(FC) # makefile (from `.config', line 219) CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ADMA = y # makefile (from `Makefile', line 39) DEPMOD = /sbin/depmod # makefile (from `Makefile', line 17) ----------------------------------------------------------------- sample output from make -np modules: ---------------------------------------------------------------- # Variables # default F77 = $(FC) # makefile (from `<C0><FB>^H<82> <D8>$^', line 219) CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ADMA = y # makefile (from `/usr/src/linux-2.4.13/Rules.make', line 25) obj-m := # default PREPROCESS.r = $(FC) $(FFLAGS) $(RFLAGS) $(TARGET_ARCH) -F # environment OBJCOPY = objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S # makefile (from `<C0><FB>^H<82> <D8>$^', line 216) --------------------------------------------------------------- sample output from make -np (2.4.17) ---------------------------------------------------------------- # makefile (from `x 0w @ PX X p (+ | h! p X W Xt k D ؊ h `= Ȃ0p-H?
