Hello
After reading again the documentations and playing again with kbuild I've found: BUG: $ make mrproper $ make mrproper Error: you must create a .config first mrproper should not depend on .config (contents and existance). COMMENT: Your documentation is extensive, but I didn't found the meaning of targets. I think that now (with kbuild) we can nearly always replace mrproper with clean. (and mrproper will do clean + rm .config). What do you things? (in that case we should replace the occurence of mrproper, (also on kbuild docs)). BUG ? making arch/i386/boot/bbotsect.o: old: bbootsect.s: Assembler message: bbootsect.s:257: Warning .... new: /tmp/ccM????: Assempler message /tmp/ccM5???:257" Warning ... What is the more user-friendly message? The cause: you forget '-pipe'. (see next comment) COMMENT AS #1 -pipe should be passed to AS (i386), (as the -I directives) How? duplicating the flags, or reusing the compiler flags? (but see also next comment) COMMENT AS #2, maybe BUG hmm. >From (g)as docs: 'as' need already preproccesed code (no macro, ...). You define AS as GCC, thus as CPP + AS (thus .[Ss] -> .o). But this is IMHO wrong. Users may expect AS as the 'simple' assembler (.s -> .o). I don't cross-compile, so I don't know who explict use AS and how it is used. Possible change: - replace AS with GCC This will force the use of same assembler of gcc. (and gcc can use also external/non-GNU assemblers) Maybe we can also modify the other tools to use GCC, e.g. LD=$GCC, CC=$GCC, ... In this case we have an alternate form to call cross-compiler: make GCC=gcc -V..., and also in this case -pipe will be an option to GCC (-pipe is one of the few general option of gcc) - allow user to change also the 'true' assembler. (without performance loss for the other 99.999 people) (maybe this should be only a few line of documentation) COMMENT You should change the number of the phases. I really don't like phase 5 before phase 4. (Let a missing phase number of first compile, but let the pahse always be in order) giacomo _______________________________________________ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel
