Description Danny Brain 2004-08-17 00:22:41 UTC

When running 'config-kernel --output-dir=/var/tmp/kernel-output/2.6.8' it sets an environment variable:
KBUILD_OUTPUT_PREFIX="/var/tmp/kernel-output/2.6.8"
Which doesn't seem to be picked up by the kernel compiler.
The only way I've been able to output my kernel to another location, is by changing this variable to:
KBUILD_OUTPUT="/var/tmp/kernel-output/2.6.8"

Unsure if this has been done on purpose and I just havn't configured it properly or if someone has messed up. Sorry if it's on my side.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. config-kernel --output-dir=/var/tmp/kernel-output/2.6.8
2. sudo env-update && source /etc/profile
3.

Actual Results:  
A environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT_PREFIX="/var/tmp/kernel-output/2.6.8" is
created.

Expected Results:  
Environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT="/var/tmp/kernel-output/2.6.8" created.

config-kernel 0.3.3

No longer in portage, irrelevant bug.
