Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: create a build directory automatically for out-of-tree build
Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2014 13:35:55 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1419395755-2773-1-git-send-email-yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com> (raw)

Kbuild supports saving output files in a separate directory.
But the build directory must be created beforehand. For example,

  $ mkdir -p dir/to/store/output/files
  $ make O=dir/to/store/output/files defconfig

Creating a build directory automatically would be useful.
