Building loop-aes with seperate Object-Directory

Hi



README (3.1e), Line 262-263:
- snip -
Both LINUX_SOURCE and KBUILD_OUTPUT must be specified when compiling for
2.6.x kernel with separate object directory.
- snip -

At least with 2.6.19 that isn't enough, i had to dig into the Makefile a little and i after i added the following parameter:
USE_KBUILD=y
it worked.


Maybe an example would be better:

make LINUX_SOURCE=<linux_source> KBUILD_OUTPUT=<objdir> USE_KBUILD=y
e.g.
make LINUX_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux-2.6.19 KBUILD_OUTPUT=/usr/src/mykernel USE_KBUILD=y


And when you want to compile a kernel for a different machine, where you "install" the modules into a directory before transferring them over to the other machine, you also have to add the
INSTALL_MOD_PATH-Parameter. e.g.:
INSTALL_MOD_PATH=<objdir>/modules
After that
<objdir>/modules/lib/modules/<version>
contains the modules ready to be transfered, including loop-aes in the <objdir>/modules/lib/modules/<version>/extra subdir (instead of the "block"-subdir with a "regular" build kernel/loop-aes).

wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated,
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
