ArmBian Kernel for OdroidXU4 is failing to compile with -C KERNEL_SOURCES O=SOMEWHERE_ELSE option

[EasyNet]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to compile the Odroid-XU4 kernel using a make -C KERNEL_SOURCES O=SOMEWHERE_ELSE/mybuild.

This command will failed when it reaches these drivers in drivers/net/wireless: rtl8188eu, rtl8189es, rtl8189fs, rtl8192eu, rtl8723ds, rtl8723du, rtl8811cu, rtl8812au, rtl8822bs, rtl88x2bu, rtl88x2cs.

To be able to compile the Kernel outside of the source tree I had to modify this list of files below. This is an output of my scipt wich is searching an replacing and replacing "-I$(src)" with "-I$(souce)/$(src)"

The script I used to fix this issue is this:

 

    for i in rtl8188eu rtl8189es rtl8189fs rtl8192eu rtl8723ds rtl8723du rtl8811cu rtl8812au rtl8822bs rtl88x2bu rtl88x2cs; do
        if [[ -d "${SOURCE_DIR}/drivers/net/wireless/$i" ]]; then
            echo "Fixing compilation for driver $i .."
            if [[ -f "${SOURCE_DIR}/drivers/net/wireless/$i/Makefile" ]]; then
                echo "  Makefile"
                sed -i -e "s/-I\$(src)/-I \$(srctree)\/\$(src)/g" "${SOURCE_DIR}/drivers/net/wireless/$i/Makefile"
            fi

            ### Also there are multiple .mk files with the same issue.
            for j in `find "${SOURCE_DIR}/drivers/net/wireless/$i/" -name *.mk -type f`; do
                echo "  $(basename $j)"
                sed -i "s/-I\$(src)/-I \$(srctree)\/\$(src)/g" "${j}"
            done
        fi
    done

 

There ${SOURCE_DIR} is obviously the Kernel sources from ArmBian.

 

Hope you can fix this issue in the next release of the kernel.

LE: also I had to replace all "include $(src)" with "include $(srctree)/$(src)" and or "include $(TopDIR)" with "include $(srctree)".

I am grateful you have found a fix but sadly maintainers are unable to integrate most of the fixes that are found  

 

We are trying to improve the situation this way:

We are freezing code for next release today:

Probably it should be added here:
