ubuntu@ubuntu-WIM-2030:~/Downloads/acerhk-0.5.35$ make make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build SUBDIRS=/home/ubuntu/Downloads/acerhk-0.5.35 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic' scripts/Makefile.build:49: *** CFLAGS was changed in "/home/ubuntu/Downloads/acerhk-0.5.35/Makefile".
