Use of 'make mrproper' and 'make clean'....
After reading many times the new kernel how-to and compiling the kernel I still wonder....what's the use of
make mrproper and make clean I wanna write a clear kernel how-to in italian and I'd like to know that. Thansk :-D |
Dont really know what make mrproper is for, but I think make clean is to clear out all the .o or .ko or any binaries left hanging around out of the source directory. It makes sure that your next compile is 'clean', in the way that it makes sure you have no old stale modules hanging around.

How about
less /usr/src/linux/Makefile /mrproper Shft+p /clean Cheers, Tink |
Well, so during and even after compilation many .o and .ko files are created in the same dir where the source code is unpacked right? Ok...
And does really nobodu know what mrproper does? |
The command shown less /usr/src/linux/Makefile/mrproper does not work....
can u tell me the right command? thanks :-D |
Put your linux source in the right place ;)
Cheers, Tink |
It's in the right place but it's linux-KERNEK_VERSION instead of linux simply...anyway now i'm retrying :-)
