From 155ad605b3c9c5874ff068f23c6ea8537190e0a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Ravnborg Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2005 17:56:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] kbuild: build a single module using 'make dir/module.ko' Using the syntax: make dir/module.ko kbuild now allows one to build a module including the final link stage. This is usefull when one only wants to compile a single module and thus do not have to wait until a full kernel has finished compiling.
