[PATCH 2/3] selftests/gpio: fix build error
From: Marcin Nowakowski
Date: Fri Jun 23 2017 - 06:37:49 EST
While building selftests/gpio, gpio-utils from linux/tools/gpio as built
in the process as well. However, the OUTPUT make variable usage in
selftests breaks the build system in linux/tools/gpio resulting in its
output files placed in the selftests folder (due to lack of trailing
slash in the path, the files are placed directly in selftests):
make -f linux/tools/build/Makefile.build dir=. obj=lsgpio
make[3]: Entering directory '/mnt/ssd/MIPS/linux-next/tools/gpio'
CC linux/tools/testing/selftests/gpiolsgpio.o
CC linux/tools/testing/selftests/gpiogpio-utils.o
LD linux/tools/testing/selftests/gpiolsgpio-in.o
This pollutes the selftests directory and, most importantly, makes it
impossible for selftests/gpio to find the object file it's looking for
to link the test:
cc -O2 -g -std=gnu99 -Wall -I../../../../usr/include/
gpio-mockup-chardev.c ../../../gpio/gpio-utils.o
../../../../usr/include/linux/gpio.h -lmount -I/usr/include/libmount -o
gpio-mockup-chardev
gcc: error: ../../../gpio/gpio-utils.o: No such file or directory
Fix this by clearing the OUTPUT variable when invoking linux/tools/gpio
make to ensure it's built where expected.
Note, that this solution is not ideal as the output is placed in
linux/tools/gpio rather than a location relative to OUTPUT, but this at
least ensures the build succeeds.
Due to differences and complexities of selftests and linux/tools build
systems, it's not trivial to ensure linux/tools get built properly when
invoked recursively from selftests build and this is left as a future
task to resolve properly.
