You mean if you move the files from tools/lib/bpf/ to a different location, and then specify srctree var pointing to a kernel tree? I think this would also break various other assumptions inside the tools/lib/bpf/Makefile, e.g. the uapi header checks also depending on relative paths. > Makefile:57: ../../scripts/Makefile.include: No such file or directory > make: *** No rule to make target '../../scripts/Makefile.include'. > Stop. > > Signed-off-by: Alexander Alemayhu <alexan...@alemayhu.com> > --- > tools/lib/bpf/Makefile | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/tools/lib/bpf/Makefile b/tools/lib/bpf/Makefile > index 4555304dc18e..0068829a56db 100644 > --- a/tools/lib/bpf/Makefile > +++ b/tools/lib/bpf/Makefile > @@ -54,7 +54,7 @@ man_dir_SQ = '$(subst ','\'',$(man_dir))' > export man_dir man_dir_SQ INSTALL > export DESTDIR DESTDIR_SQ > > -include ../../scripts/Makefile.include > +include $(srctree)/tools/scripts/Makefile.include > > # copy a bit from Linux kbuild > >
