Patch series available in this git branch:
https://xenbits.xen.org/git-http/people/aperard/xen-unstable.git br.build-system-xen-v3
v3:
- new patches that do some cleanup or fix issues
- have rework most patches, to have better commit message or change the coding
style, or fix issues that I've seen. There were some cases where CFLAGS were
missing.
See patch notes for details
- introduce if_changed*. That plenty of new patches on top of what we had in v2.
(those changes ignore CONFIG_LTO=y, I'll see about fixing that later)
(There is more to come in order to use fixdep from Linux, but that's not ready)
v2.1:
- some fixes
v2:
Rather than taking Kbuild and making it work with Xen, the v2 takes the opposite
approach of slowly transforming our current build system into Kbuild. That have
the advantage of keeping all the feature we have and making the patches much
easier to review. Kconfig update is done in an other patch series.
Hi,
I have work toward building Xen (the hypervisor) with Linux's build system,
Kbuild.
The main reason for that is to be able to have out-of-tree build. It's annoying
when a build fail because of the pvshim. Other benefit is a much faster
rebuild, and `make clean` doesn't take ages, and better dependencies to figure
out what needs to be rebuild.
So, we are not there yet, but the series already contain quite a few
improvement and cleanup. More patches are going to be added to the series.
Cheers,
