    kbuild: create directory for dir/file.o · 4d47dde4
    张忠山 authored
    When add a obj with dir to obj-y, like this
    
        obj-y += dir/file.o
    
    The $(obj)/dir not created, this patch fix this.
    
    When try to add a file(which in a subdir) to my board's obj-y, the build
    progress crashed.
    
    For example, I use at91rm9200ek board, and in kernel dir run:
    
      mkdir objtree
      make O=objtree at91rm9200_defconfig
      mkdir arch/arm/mach-at91/dir
      touch arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.c
    
    and edit arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.c to add some code.
    then edit arch/arm/mach-at91/Makefile, change the following line:
    
      obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_AT91RM9200EK) += board-rm9200ek.o
    
    to:
    
      obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_AT91RM9200EK) += board-rm9200ek.o dir/file.o
    
    Now build it:
    
      make O=objtree
    
    Then the error appears:
      ...
      CC      arch/arm/mach-at91/board-rm9200dk.o
      CC      arch/arm/mach-at91/board-rm9200ek.o
      CC      arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.o
      linux-2.6/arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.c:5:
        fatal error: opening dependency file
        arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/.file.o.d: No such file or directory
    
    Check the objtree:
      LANG=en ls objtree/arch/arm/mach-at91/dir
      ls: cannot access objtree/arch/arm/mach-at91/dir: No such file or directory
    
    It's apparently that the target dir not created for file.o
    
    Check kbuild source code. It seems that kbuild create dirs for that in
    $(obj-dirs).  But if the dir need not to create a built-in.o, It should
    never in  $(obj-dirs).
    
    So I make this patch to make sure It in  $(obj-dirs)
