HI ! I'm trying to generate the .lst files to check the impact of a patch but in the specific directory there is no Makefile only in the parrent directory. specifically I'm trying to build the security/selinux/ss/ebitmap.lst hofrat@debian:~/linux-next$ make security/selinux/ss/ebitmap.lst scripts/Makefile.build:42: security/selinux/ss/Makefile: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'security/selinux/ss/Makefile'. Stop. Makefile:1745: recipe for target 'security/selinux/ss/ebitmap.lst' failed make: *** [security/selinux/ss/ebitmap.lst] Error 2 since kbuild is splitting the src from srctree in scripts/Makefile.build:42 I suspect that there currently is no way to build a .lst file if there is no makefile in the particular directory. Is there some trick to do it ? or must I create the Mekefile to enable .lst files ? thx! hofrat
