Description Darren Hart 2014-08-14 15:25:46 UTC

In order to build modules on the target, you first have to build the scripts binaries on the target:

$ cd /usr/src/kernel
$ make scripts

This is unexpected and tends to confuse developers.

The kernel-dev package should have these binaries built for the target arch.

See also#4389

Comment 2 Bruce Ashfield 2017-06-21 18:35:53 UTC

Cycles are questionable to get to this. If someone else can look into it, that would be great.

Comment 3 Bruce Ashfield 2018-02-16 00:00:44 UTC

See my update to https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4389, there are technical issues in the way of doing this.

Comment 4 Juro Bystricky 2018-02-16 23:34:31 UTC

I also added some comments in
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4389,
I believe fixing 4389 will also address this one (6630).
In any case, the changes will affect kernel-devsrc (not kernel-dev).

Comment 5 Robin Jordan 2018-03-15 11:01:24 UTC

Please update this milestone.  If it is not going into 2.5 push to 2.99.

Comment 6 Richard Purdie 2018-10-11 15:04:47 UTC

I believe fixing 4389 will also fix this.
