Hi ! Probably I´m just overlooking something obvious but trying to build .lst files in directories that have no Makefile is causing problems. For "normal" files its simply $ make path/file.lst but that seems to assume that there always is a Makefile in each directory. For some drivers this is not the case e.g. drivers/staging/rtlwifi/Makefile covers all the subdirectories directly and there are no Makefiles or Kbuild files in the respective subdirs. So building .lst fails: hofrat@threadripper:~/git/linux-next$ make drivers/staging/rtlwifi/phydm/rtl_phydm.lst CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CALL scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh DESCEND objtool scripts/Makefile.build:42: drivers/staging/rtlwifi/phydm/Makefile: No such file or directory And not too surprising the build instructions from Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt will not do the trick either: hofrat@threadripper:~/git/linux-next/drivers/staging/rtlwifi/phydm$ make -C ~/git/linux-next M=$PWD rtl_phydm.lst make: Entering directory '/home/hofrat/git/linux-next' scripts/Makefile.build:42: /home/hofrat/git/linux-next/drivers/staging/rtlwifi/phydm/Makefile: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target '/home/hofrat/git/linux-next/drivers/staging/rtlwifi/phydm/Makefile'. Stop. Makefile:1704: recipe for target 'rtl_phydm.lst' failed make: *** [rtl_phydm.lst] Error 2 make: Leaving directory '/home/hofrat/git/linux-next' Any hint how to build those .lst files ? thx! hofrat
