Description Forgotten User OS1JNCFbCX 2005-10-17 13:00:43 UTC

packages/SuSE/fglrx-kernel-build.sh from ATI proprietary driver does not use
SUSE kernel build system with flavor abstraction as documented in
/usr/share/doc/packages/kernel-source/README.SUSE.  Is there a reason why you do
make cloneconfig and make prepare-all in /usr/src/linux instead of just using
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build as KERNEL_SOURCE without the need to configure
anything?

In my opinion the latter method is preferable because it does not mess with the
/usr/src/linux directory.
