This works only once, and breaks when installing more than one (set of) external module(s). With following fix we have the functionality: - for a in-kernel modules_install the $(MODLIB)/kernel directory will be deleted before module installation - for external modules the existing modules will be left as is assuming one may be building and installign several external modules Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg --- diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index c380f5891f..fc8e08c419 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -1112,7 +1112,6 @@ modules_install: _emodinst_ _emodinst_post install-dir := $(if $(INSTALL_MOD_DIR),$(INSTALL_MOD_DIR),extra) PHONY += _emodinst_ _emodinst_: - $(Q)rm -rf $(MODLIB)/$(install-dir) $(Q)mkdir -p $(MODLIB)/$(install-dir) $(Q)$(MAKE) -rR -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.modinst
