Summary

0000126: make breaks when TARGET_DIR is specified on command line

Description

After all the usual "make menuconfig", the make procedure breaks when I specify:

make "TARGET_DIR=/home/user/root"

However, if I just issue:

make

all goes well. It looks like the genext2fs-1.3/genext2fs utility has some dependency or the makefile isn't set up right to handle another location of the root file system. See the additional debug log.

Additional Information

With make "TARGET_DIR=/home/boris/test/root" I get the following error:
================
# Just in case

================

When I just say make on the command line, the procedure finishes OK. I was just trying to locate the target root directory somewhere outside the buildroot. The reason to do so is to install targets applications for the system I am building Linux.

Notes
(0001001) prpplague 01-25-06 08:18	the TARGET_DIR is currently hardcoded in the make files. if you would like to look at how the download directory is configured and do the same for TARGET_DIR. once thats down, submit a patch using diff -urN
