Hi Martin,

You can pass the name of the target to the make for building only the specified files and objects. Suppose, if I changed some modifications in storage files, then I need to do make as shown below, from the top level directory i.e. /usr/src/<linux-kernel>/

make M=drivers/usb/storage

I hope this helps to you. I got the same problem earlier and I fixed like this.

Thank you,

Regards,

Srinivas

Hi.

When I change something in the kernel and just hit make from toplevel
dir, it always compiles everything again, no matter if it wasn't changed
at all in the meantime.
I thought make should be able to make a second build time really quick.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a make target I don't know of? I don't
type in any, just make.

thanks,

martin
