kbuild is optimised for kernel usage. And within the kernel only xfs and oprofile (+a few others) have files spread over more than one directory like in your example. This is not considered good practice and therefore kbuild does not document this usage - neither encourage it. Also kbuild does not support building .a file in the way you want it to do. You can do the following: obj-$(CONFIG_foo) += main/main_code.o obj-$(CONFIG_foo) += lib1/part1/file_1_1_1.c obj-$(CONFIG_foo) += lib1/part2/file1_2_1.o etc. > > At the end I would like to compile the code in main and > link every together (result should be one kernel module). > > How can I archieve this with kbuild? Its documentation is not > really deep. Please point out in what section you miss information and I will try to update it. I for one consider the kbuild syntax well documented, but I may be a bit biased in this respect.
