Re: what is the + sigh in the modules folder name?
Hi Christopher, From my knowledge it because of in linux-2.6.37/Makefile In my case content of Lantiq_UGW_5.x/linux/Makefile #head Lantiq_UGW_5.x/linux/Makefile VERSION = 2 PATCHLEVEL = 6 SUBLEVEL = 32 EXTRAVERSION = .32 NAME = Man-Eating Seals of Antiquity # *DOCUMENTATION* This EXTRAVERSION get added to Kernel build path # Read KERNELRELEASE from include/config/kernel.release (if it exists) KERNELRELEASE = $(shell cat include/config/kernel.release 2 /dev/null) KERNELVERSION = $(VERSION).$(PATCHLEVEL).$(SUBLEVEL)$(EXTRAVERSION) On My system on provide the following command. #uname -r #2.6.32.32 # If you check the EXTRAVERSION you will find the reason of '+' Or Some were in the linux-2.6.37/Makefile you might be appending some extra FLAGS or environment variable to KERNELVERSION. Read the linux-2.6.37/Makefile for details under the following line. # Build the kernel release string Please try to echo this KERNELVERSION during compilation of kernel. -Anand Moon From: Christopher Harvey ch...@basementcode.com To: kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2012 8:46 PM Subject: Re: what is the + sigh in the modules folder name?
