New: Changing the kernel image type (e.g. zImage to uImage) does not take effect immediately

https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=10506

Bug ID: 10506
Summary: Changing the kernel image type (e.g. zImage to uImage)
does not take effect immediately
Product: buildroot
Version: 2017.02.5
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P5
Component: Other
Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
Reporter: gmichael225 at gmail.com
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Target Milestone: ---

I may be missing something, but when I:

- complete a build by running "make", then
- change the kernel image type from zImage from uImage, or from uImage to
zImage, then
- run "make" again

the newly requested image type is not created.

Running "make clean", before "make" does cause the image to be created (but obviously that's a lot of recompiling!)

--- Comment #1 from Arnout Vandecappelle <[email protected]> --- Buildroot doesn't automatically rebuild when you change the configuration. Ideally you should indeed to a clean rebuild (i.e. 'make clean; make'). Sometimes you may get away with a shortcut. In this specific case, 'make linux-rebuild' will do the job.
