kw-build¶
SYNOPSIS¶
DESCRIPTION¶
If users invoke this option without parameters, kw will look at the local
Makefile and, based on that, start to build the project. This option tries to
take advantage of your hardware by using the -j option with the appropriate
parameter.
This command can be used in conjunction with deploy by
invoking kw bd.
Note
This command must be run inside of a kernel tree.
OPTIONS¶
- -i, --info:
The info option, makes so the build information such as the kernel release name and the total number of modules compiled will be displayed.
- -n, --menu:
The menu option invokes the kernel menuconfig. Notice that the default menu config can be changed in the kworkflow.config file by setting a different option in menu_config. If the user is working in a cross-compile environment, it is recommended to use this option to avoid messing with the config file manually.
- -d, --doc:
The doc option provides a mechanism for building the kernel-doc; by default, it will build htmldocs. Users can change the default documentation output by changing the parameter doc_type in the kworkflow.config file.
- --alert=(s | v | (sv | vs) | n):
- Defines the alert behaviour upon the command completion.
- s enables sound notification.v enables visual notification.sv or vs enables both.n (or any other option) disables notifications (this is the default).
EXAMPLES¶
For these examples, we suppose the fields in your kworkflow.config file are already configured.
For building and installing a new module version based on the current kernel version, you can use:
cd <kernel-path>
