Please help me a little more, can you please list your commands?
Before your patch, what I do:
export RTE_KERNELDIR=~/development/linux/linux
make defconfig
make <--- After this kernel modules in ./build/kmod/*.ko
make DESTDIR=/tmp/for-scott install
kernel modules are installed into /tmp/for-scott/lib/modules/`uname
-r`/extra/dpdk/*.ko
Here `uname -r` is wrong but your patch is not related this.
I am using RTE_KERNELDIR a lot since I am compiling with various kernel
versions, not seen .ko files goes into source folder, what is your command line?
Or _after_ your patch:
export RTE_KERNELDIR=~/development/linux/linux
export RTE_KERNELDIR_OUT=/tmp/kmod
make defconfig
make <--- After this kernel modules in ./build/kmod/*.ko
Getting following build error:
/bin/sh: scripts/mod/modpost: No such file or directory
make[7]: *** [.../development/linux/linux/scripts/Makefile.modpost:92:
__modpost] Error 127
make[6]: *** [.../development/linux/linux/Makefile:1558: modules] Error 2
make[5]: *** [Makefile:146: sub-make] Error 2
make[4]: *** [../mk/rte.module.mk:54: igb_uio.ko] Error 2
Can you please describe how this variable intended to be used?
