I notice the kernel-rt source is called linux-2.6.22.5-31-obj. Where does *-obj stand for.?
Can I change the current kernel source from linux-2.6.22.9-0.4 to linux-2.6.22.5-31-obj with the command 'ln -sfn linux-2.6.22.5-31-obj' without problems?
kernel-source is the kernel source. linux-obj is the build information for a particular kernel, as needed to build an external module against it. They're not interchangable, and you need both, unless you want to configure and build a complete kernel for each flavor you need to build a module against. linux-obj doesn't contain all the headers you'd need to build external modules. It would be possible to generate a kernel headers package, but it's pretty low on our list of priorities. We accept patches. :) - -obj stands for object, like the intermediate build format during a program compilation. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHJqtLLPWxlyuTD7IRAgQuAJ9l+k1TWO9YVDHn5qLAGlsBwZmQyQCfbE6F 5B7V0NbCEuYUU78oc3RVCGo= =Dn6c -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
