Try setting KBUILD_OUTPUT in /etc/make.conf — it will be used by |
| 9 |
linux-info.eclass (and linux-mod.eclass) automatically, so most kernel |
| 10 |
module-compiling ebuilds will do the right thing. There are |
| 11 |
exceptions, such as the VirtualBox packages above, which want access |
| 12 |
to the build tree outside module compilation for whatever reason, but |
| 13 |
I already found a fix for that specific problem |
| 14 |
(--with-linux=${KV_OUT_DIR}), so count me as a fan of O=. |
| 15 |

You can also apparently set KERNEL_DIR to something other than |
| 17 |
/usr/src/linux, but with "eselect kernel" available, this variable is |
| 18 |
probably best left alone. |
