Re: [Xen-devel] Building Modules Against Xen Sources

[Jayson Vantuyl <jvantuyl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mmmmm.  I build some of my stuff currently out of Gentoo.  I supposed I could hack the ebuild, but in general, I don't think there will ever be a substitute for having just a plain kernel tree.  Even if it isn't used by default, would it be possible (not necessarily by 3.0.5) to get a make target to make them?  Pretty please?

This used to not be such a problem, as Xen created a kernel directory and the built in it.  Plain Jane, nothing fancy.

I've noticed that somewhere since I did this (which was as recent as 3.0.4-1) the kernel build now does things a bit different.  Apparently there is some sort of build-.... directory where things happen now.

This is a problem.  I build a number of things against these kernels, not the least of which include Coraid's AoE drivers and Redhat's CMAN and DLM stuff.

You should be able to point your external build at the latter and have it just work:
 make –C /path/to/build-linux-... M=$PWD modules
