If you try out-of-tree build with an unclean source tree, Kbuild suggests to run make mrproper. The path to the source tree may be shown with a relative path, for example, "make O=foo" emits the following: .. is not clean, please run 'make mrproper' in the '..' directory. This is somewhat confusing if you ran "make O=foo" in the source tree. Using the absolute path will be clearer. This commit changes the error message like follows: *** *** The source tree is not clean, please run 'make mrproper' *** in /absolute/path/to/linux *** Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
