This reverts commit 243b50c141d71fcf7b88e94474b3b9269f0b1f9d. When packaging the kernel it is built in different place from the one in which it will be installed. After build the makefile needs to be regenerated with the target location but with mkmakefile merged into Makefile tehre is no way to do that. Signed-off-by: Michal Suchanek <redacted>My patch was not working as expected regardless of packaging. Does the following fix-up work for you?For the packaging I need some way to regenerate the Makefile and fake the directory where the Makefile will be on the user system (ie DESTDIR) Without the mkmakefile I do not see any way to do it. If the kernel makefile is no longer location dependent there is no need any more, of course. Thanks Michal
Sorry, I do not understand this. IIUC, this patch does not change any functionality. The generated Makefile is still the same. Why is it a problem? -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
