Oe Build Question
« on: June 25, 2005, 06:18:42 pm »
Hi,

Following a change to one of the kernel source files (corgikbd.c) I'm trying to get the kernel to compile. I made the change in .../tmp/work/linux-openzaurus-2.6.12-rc4-mm2-r6/linux-2.6.11/drivers/input/keyboard/corgikbd.c. When I run the bitbake, it doesn't rebuild the kernel with the modified file.

My question is how to get the kernel to compile with the modified file, without doing a full build?

Thanks,
Amit.

bitbake -f -c compile -b <path to kernel .bb file>

Or you could create a patch for the file and stick it in the appropriate dir (packages/linux/linux-openzaurus-2.6.12-rc4-mm2 ?) and modify the .bb file - as this is what you will need to do in the end (to let others use your modification).
