PATCH v2 1/1 kernel.bbclass: enable a link for external module building

From: Nitin A Kamble <[email protected]>

Even though the kernel-dev package provides the required support for building external kernel modules on the target, some commonly used scripts and utilities fail as they are not finding the kernel module build support files at the desired location.

Create the /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/build link on target pointing to the sources provided by the kernel-dev package, to fix the issue.

Fixes Bug:
[YOCTO #2968]

Hi Tom,
Because of the no modules kernel configuration, the required directory structure is missing. This patch would fix the issue by ensuring the required directory is present. Can you verify the fix?

-----------------------------------------

[OE-core] [PATCH] kernel.bbclass: Create modules directory even if there is no modules installed

-----------------------------

[email protected]
Oct 21

to openembedded-c.
From: He Zhe <[email protected]>

During kernel_do_install it needs to make symbol link at ${D}/lib/modules/${KERNEL_VERSION}/build, but there will not be ${D}/lib/modules/${KERNEL_VERSION} if there is no modules installed for current image, which will result in a build failure.
Add "mkdir -p ${D}/lib/modules/${KERNEL_VERSION}" here to avoid this failure and the need of similar changes in other scripts that also expect it to exist.

Even though the kernel-dev package provides the required support for building external kernel modules on the target, some commonly used scripts and utilities fail as they are not finding the kernel module build support files at the desired location.

Create the /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/build link on target pointing to the sources provided by the kernel-dev package, to fix the issue.

Zhe He sent the same patch on the 21st, I guess it slipped through the cracks:

[OE-core] [PATCH] kernel.bbclass: Create modules directory even if there is no modules installed

Hi Armin,

It doesn't look like this fix ever made it to dizzy. Could you please pull this commit into your dizzy-next branch?:

commit 4c222d3a67bae265ff42b448ef4a643b0131e578

Thanks,

During kernel_do_install it needs to make symbol link at ${D}/lib/modules/${KERNEL_VERSION}/build, but there will not be ${D}/lib/modules/${KERNEL_VERSION} if there is no modules installed for current
image, which will result in a build failure.
Add "mkdir -p ${D}/lib/modules/${KERNEL_VERSION}" here to avoid this failure and the need of similar changes in other scripts that also expect it to exist.

Hi Tom,
Because of the no modules kernel configuration, the required directory structure is missing. This patch would fix the issue by ensuring the required directory is present. Can you verify the fix?
