seems as though this line is making it fail make IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH="yes" SYSSRC="${KERNEL_DIR}" SYSOUT="${KV_OUTPUT}" \ clean module V=1 || die "Failed to build module" when I set SYSOUT="/usr/src/kernel-out" the directory I set the kernel sources to output to, it installs fine, seems KV_OUTPUT is not getting setup correctly.
To quote your original comment >>> Unpacking source... * /usr/src/linux is a symbolic link * Determining the real directory of the Linux kernel source code * Building for Linux 2.6.7-ck6 found in /usr/src/linux * which outputs to /usr/src/linux * By not using the kernel's ability to output to an alternative * directory, some external module builds may fail. * See <insert link to user doc here> KV_OUTPUT and hence SYSOUT is dynamically determined from the kernel sources, this works in accordance with how kbuild is meant to be implemented. The output directory is found from /usr/src/linux/Makefile and the KBUILD_OUTPUT variable... is this set on your system?
Well I changed it to compile into the same directory and it works fine. My old kernel build command was 'make O=/usr/src/kernel-out -j3' so does that change the makefile, or do I have to do it manually?
See sys-kernel/config-kernel It will make the appropriate changes... resolving bug.
sys-kernel/config-kernel is masked out (says its broken).
