It's (typically) used to direct the compilation (which files should be compiled, in what order, etc.). > Here is my embarassing failure: > > Building the vmmon module. > gcc: auto-build: No such file or directory > gcc: HEADER_DIR=/usr/src/linux/include: No such file or directory > gcc: CC=/usr/bin/gcc: No such file or directory > gcc: GREP=grep: No such file or directory > Unable to build the vmmon module. I'd guess that most of that is a side-effect of make being unavailable. I'm pretty sure that grep would be present, at the very least. ;-)
