i have a custom kernel build directory (for security reason), and using KERNEL_DIR refer to it, eg. KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/kernel_build it's works fine for nvidia-drivers, but when i trying to install v4l2loopback, it just doesn't work. the Makefile in the package: ``` KERNELRELEASE ?= `uname -r` KERNEL_DIR ?= /lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE)/build all: v4l2loopback.ko v4l2loopback: v4l2loopback.ko v4l2loopback.ko: @echo "Building v4l2-loopback driver..." $(MAKE) -C $(KERNEL_DIR) M=$(PWD) modules ``` here is the build.log i got: ``` * v4l2loopback-0.12.5.tar.gz BLAKE2B SHA512 size ;-) ...

not sure why, but when i set KBUILD_OUTPUT to empty, it's compiled. logs here: ``` KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/kernel_build KBUILD_OUTPUT= ebuild /usr/portage/media-video/v4l2loopback/v4l2loopback-0.12.5-r1.ebuild clean compile[0/48400] * v4l2loopback-0.12.5.tar.gz BLAKE2B SHA512 size ;-) ...

Does this still happen with version 0.12.7?
