Subject: Fix: Makefile: generation of specific .i file not working
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org/?p=lttng-modules.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=c93e15272d8c032644e5dbca986fad0cfb4911bf

Fix: Makefile: generation of specific .i file not working

Issue
=====
When trying to get the preprocessed version of the `lttng-syscalls.c` file
I get the following error:
  $ make src/lttng-syscalls.i
    make -C /lib/modules/5.4.0-67-generic/build M=/home/frdeso/projets/lttng/modules/src CONFIG_LTTNG=m CONFIG_LTTNG_CLOCK_PLUGIN_TEST=m src/lttng-syscalls.i
    make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.4.0-67-generic'
    make[3]: *** No rule to make target '/home/frdeso/projets/lttng/modules/src/src/lttng-syscalls.i'.  Stop.
    make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:480: __build] Error 2
    make[1]: *** [Makefile:1760: /home/frdeso/projets/lttng/modules/src] Error 2
    make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.4.0-67-generic'
    make: *** [Makefile:32: src/lttng-syscalls.i] Error 2

We see that the gcc tries to create the `src/src/lttng-syscalls.i` file
instead of the expected `src/lttng-syscalls.i`.

Fix
===
Remove the `/src` from the `M=` option.
