So you may want to set $(INSTALL_MOD_PATH) in the same way as you've set V= or O= before. If you're trying to prepare something to be copied over to a target system, the tar-pkg, targz-pkg and tarbz2-pkg targets may be exactly what you're searching for. > Is this a bug or a feature? I.e. is the "make help" misleading in Feature. Modules won't ever be searched inside some kernel source directory, modprobe expects them to be in /lib/modules/. > saying "O=<dir>" can be used to specify the output directory of a > make run? Or should this be working? It's maybe a bit misleading, but `modules_install' isn't a compilation run, it's an installation run. O= was ment to hold all compiled/generated objects, but to have a working installation, you need to break out of that (or have INSTALL_MOD_PATH set.)
