Re: [Ltib] linux modules build question

[David warman]

Hi Stuart,

It may be a mis-understanding, but something, not by my conscious  
action, at one time copied the sources over to ltib/rootfs/usr/src/ 
linux, and again something, not me, removed them later. Since /usr/ 
src/linux is assumed to be the -C make argument by every module  
Makefile I have looked at so far, those not included with ltib, I was  
coming to assume that that is the normal place to find them.

However, I resolved my issue by using ltib/rpm/BUILD/linux instead.


Thanks for your help and comments.
