Okay in the kernel makefile there is this: # # INSTALL_MOD_PATH specifies a prefix to MODLIB for module directory # relocations required by build roots. This is not defined in the # makefile but the argument can be passed to make if needed. # This allows you to specify another directory where the modules are installed. How can I pass this variable to the makefile on the commandline? I don't want it to install in its normal place /lib/modules/ , I would like to tell it to install somewhere else but I need to tell it when doing make modules_install. I cannot simply hard code it in the makefile because the build is being done by an RPM I am making and I don't know the dir ahead of time. The dir is kept in yet another variable that is different for each build. -- ICQ: 7205161 IRC: #sapphirewm on irc.openprojects.net http://sapphire.sourceforge.net - A small X11 Window Manager http://javathingies.sourceforge.net - my java junk
