Hi,
I've searched a little too long now for an solution to what I think is a very
simple problem.
I'm compiling a kernel in a subdirectory of my home with `make-kpkg
kernel-image` and I've got my .kernel-pkg.conf set up to:
maintainer := Sukant Hajra
MODULE_LOC := $(HOME)/src/linux/modules
debian := $(shell date +%Y%m%d.%H%M)
root_cmd := fakeroot
kpkg_follow_symlinks_in_src := YES
I've unpacked the debian module sources I'm interested in (ieee80211-source
and ipw2200-source) into ~/src/linux/ and everything is set up to compile
perfectly with `make-kpkg modules_image`.
The problem I'm having is that I need to compile ipw2200 with
CONFIG_IPW_DEBUG=y. It just doesn't appear as though the make-kpkg is making
any use of the Makefile provided by ipw2200-source. According to the
Makefile, debugging is supposedly set, but it just doesn't appear to be when
I load the installed the compiled module.
Basically, make-kpkg is doing a lot of stuff behind the scenes, and I'm just
not really sure I'm following it all. I run make-kpkg from the root of the
kernel tree, so I thought maybe I could append CONFIG_IPW_DEBUG=y to the end
of the .config file, but that just instantiated a `make oldconfig` before
compilation. I even tried to export CONFIG_IPW_DEBUG=y before running
make-kpkg, but that didn't seem to do the trick either.
What's the recommended method to compile modules with make-kpkg with custom
options? Should one of the methods I tried above worked (I can try it
again)?
Thanks for your input,
Sukant Hajra
