Hi,

I was wondering if there is a reason the modules under the samples
directory only build if you use the command make uImage modules?

I have created a patch so that they compile if you enable CONFIG_SAMPLES
and then build the kernel separately, i.e.
make uImage
make modules

This two step approach is how the kernel is built if you use bitbake in
yocto, currently it does not output the kernel module object file for
the sample modules.

This is the patch I am considering:

        $(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.modpost


Thank you for any help or advice,
Jim Baxter
