4 --------------------------------------------------
5 Additional options to pass when preprocessing. The preprocessing options
6 will be used in all cases where kbuild does preprocessing including
7 building C files and assembler files.
10 --------------------------------------------------
11 Additional options to the assembler.
14 --------------------------------------------------
15 Additional options to the C compiler.
18 --------------------------------------------------
19 Set the kbuild verbosity. Can be assigned same values as "V=...".
20 See make help for the full list.
21 Setting "V=..." takes precedence over KBUILD_VERBOSE.
24 --------------------------------------------------
25 Set the directory to look for the kernel source when building external
27 The directory can be specified in several ways:
28 1) Use "M=..." on the command line
29 2) Environmnet variable KBUILD_EXTMOD
30 3) Environmnet variable SUBDIRS
31 The possibilities are listed in the order they take precedence.
32 Using "M=..." will always override the others.
35 --------------------------------------------------
36 Specify the output directory when building the kernel.
37 The output directory can also be specificed using "O=...".
38 Setting "O=..." takes precedence over KBUILD_OUTPUT.
41 --------------------------------------------------
42 Set ARCH to the architecture to be built.
43 In most cases the name of the architecture is the same as the
44 directory name found in the arch/ directory.
45 But some architectures such as x86 and sparc have aliases.
46 x86: i386 for 32 bit, x86_64 for 64 bit
47 sparc: sparc for 32 bit, sparc64 for 64 bit
50 --------------------------------------------------
51 Specify an optional fixed part of the binutils filename.
52 CROSS_COMPILE can be a part of the filename or the full path.
54 CROSS_COMPILE is also used for ccache is some setups.
57 --------------------------------------------------
58 Additional options for sparse.
59 CF is often used on the command-line like this:
64 --------------------------------------------------
65 INSTALL_PATH specifies where to place the updated kernel and system map
66 images. Default is /boot, but you can set it to other values.
69 --------------------------------------------------
70 Install script called when using "make install".
71 The default name is "installkernel".
73 The script will be called with the following arguments:
75 $2 - kernel image file
77 $4 - default install path (use root directory if blank)
79 The implmentation of "make install" is architecture specific
80 and it may differ from the above.
82 INSTALLKERNEL is provided to enable the possibility to
83 specify a custom installer when cross compiling a kernel.
86 --------------------------------------------------
87 Specify where to install modules.
90 $(INSTALL_MOD_PATH)/lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE)
92 The value can be overridden in which case the default value is ignored.
95 --------------------------------------------------
96 INSTALL_MOD_PATH specifies a prefix to MODLIB for module directory
97 relocations required by build roots. This is not defined in the
98 makefile but the argument can be passed to make if needed.
101 --------------------------------------------------
102 INSTALL_MOD_STRIP, if defined, will cause modules to be
103 stripped after they are installed. If INSTALL_MOD_STRIP is '1', then
104 the default option --strip-debug will be used. Otherwise,
105 INSTALL_MOD_STRIP will used as the options to the strip command.
108 --------------------------------------------------
109 INSTALL_FW_PATH specifies where to install the firmware blobs.
110 The default value is:
112 $(INSTALL_MOD_PATH)/lib/firmware
114 The value can be overridden in which case the default value is ignored.
117 --------------------------------------------------
118 INSTALL_HDR_PATH specifies where to install user space headers when
119 executing "make headers_*".
120 The default value is:
124 $(objtree) is the directory where output files are saved.
125 The output directory is often set using "O=..." on the commandline.
127 The value can be overridden in which case the default value is ignored.
130 --------------------------------------------------
131 KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN can be set to avoid errors in case of undefined
132 symbols in the final module linking stage. It changes such errors
135 KBUILD_MODPOST_NOFINAL
136 --------------------------------------------------
137 KBUILD_MODPOST_NOFINAL can be set to skip the final link of modules.
138 This is solely useful to speed up test compiles.
141 --------------------------------------------------
142 For modules that use symbols from other modules.
143 See more details in modules.txt.
146 --------------------------------------------------
147 For tags/TAGS/cscope targets, you can specify more than one arch
148 to be included in the databases, separated by blank space. E.g.:
150 $ make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS="x86 mips arm" tags
