[kvm-devel] kernel module won't compile when using seperate build dir

[James P. <jp...@bl...>]

Hi,

I compile my kernel with make O=/home/james/compile/linux-2.6.25.1

kvm detects this as the kernel directory. However when building in the
"kernel" directory of the project it fails (it tries to include
linux/compiler.h which is only in /usr/src/linux/..).

This used to work but started breaking in kvm-61 onwards. I want to use kvm
61 but I don't want to dirty up my kernel source tree if I can help it.

I tried appending the source directory to the include path with -I but this
lead to another missing include (asm/types.h), then I added /usr/include to
the path as well and .. well it just got worse.

Thanks, James
