I always test by stuff during development by
cd /sys/modules/netgraph
cp -pr UI NEW_THING
cd NEW_THING
vi Makefile #point to new sources
make depend; make
this allows me to test jsut the new module without building the entire kernel.
Specifically I may not even be ABLE to build a real kernel if the tree is broken
but I don't care.. I can still build my module and work on killing warnings etc.
without having to have a working config or even any built kernels.
Will I still be able to do this?
If I can cd to /sys/dev/ed and do "make module"
that would suit me.
