That command uses an implicit target of all (which is
bzImage + modules), and then SUBDIRS (or M) limits it to
the specified subdir., so it builds all modules in the
specified subdir.
As opposed to what I thought(?) the OP was asking about:
how to build one module only.

I think that we have nailed it enough now, yes?  :)

I never said I did a "make fs/reiserfs". I did a 
"make SUBDIRS=fs/reiserfs"  which does produce a .ko file.  

But even shorter is to do a "make M=fs/reiserfs", which also works.

But, I guess what was added was the ability to just type the module
itself.  That's cool, but I haven't had the need to do that (yet).

Hi Steve.

make fs/reiserfs/
and
make fs/reiserfs/resiserfs.ko

does not do the same thing. Only the latter result in a .ko file.

2.6.9 did not handle "make one_module.ko" (for me on x86).

I just did this on a 2.6.9 vanilla kernel, and it still worked. How
"recent" did Sam do this?

That could very well explain it. I'm doing this on 2.6.13-rc6-rt6
(2.6.13-rc6 with Ingo's rt6 patch applied).  So I really do have a
recent kernel.

Sam only added make .ko build support very recently,
so it could easily depend on what kernel verison Fong is using.

It worked for me. Is your reiserfs turned on as a module, and not
compiled into the kernel. ( not <*> nor < >)

compiling only one module in kernel version 2.6?

2005-08-16 Thread Fong Vang
What's the easiest way to compile just one module in the Linux 2.6 kernel tree?

This no longer seem to work:

  $ cd /usr/src/linux
  $ make SUBDIRS=fs/reiserfs modules
   Building modules, stage 2.
   MODPOST

  I don't see any .ko generated.
