Hi,
I am trying to use O=<dir> option when building kernel. It failed with missing .config file error. I checked out the message and found out it tried to read .config in the output directory.
It's strange because there is no command to copy .config to the output directory. I tested v4.14 and v4.15, and both failed.
Depending on your distro they may provide you with their config file. You can create a default configuration by doing:
make defconfig O=$dir cd $dir make
Where $dir is wherever you want the output to be.

Thank you, Alex. I just started kernel build. It looks fine. I think "make help" should show some more message for "O=" option. What do you think about sending a patch to add more description for "O=" option, Alex? -- Best regards, Gioh Kim
