From: Randy Dunlap Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2018 19:59:10 +0000 (-0700) Subject: kbuild: make missing $DEPMOD a Warning instead of an Error X-Git-Tag: v4.9.127~17 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a75228044ef6f99b057784d46b98df0cd0dd8a5b;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-amlogic.git kbuild: make missing $DEPMOD a Warning instead of an Error commit 914b087ff9e0e9a399a4927fa30793064afc0178 upstream. When $DEPMOD is not found, only print a warning instead of exiting with an error message and error status: Warning: 'make modules_install' requires /sbin/depmod. Please install it. This is probably in the kmod package. Change the Error to a Warning because "not all build hosts for cross compiling Linux are Linux systems and are able to provide a working port of depmod, especially at the file patch /sbin/depmod." I.e., "make modules_install" may be used to copy/install the loadable modules files to a target directory on a build system and then transferred to an embedded device where /sbin/depmod is run instead of it being run on the build system.
