| == 1. When I try to build the kernel I get an error telling me to run "make mrproper" == Generally, running "git clean -f -d" to delete all files not in the git repository is good enough to start a new build. However, this command does not clean files ignored by the git repository. Some of these files conflict with the linux build scripts. The best way to resolve this situation is to run "make mrproper", then check "git status" to ensure everything looks right, and then finally being the build again. |
If that does not work it is normally safest to clean all extraneous file out of your tree as below. Note that this removes each and every file which is not committed to git, it __will__ remove any patches etc you have lying around within the build directory: {{{ git clean -x -f -d }}} |
