内核编译出错：multiple target patterns

原文地址： http://blog.csdn.net/zjujoe/article/details/3185382

现象

从 svn 仓库check out 一份内核， 然后make (该配置内置了initramfs 文件系统)，第一次make 成功， 但是此后再也不行了！make , make clean 等后都会出错。给开发带来极大麻烦。

 

出错信息如下：

问题解决

(同时打算再仔细研究一下 Makefile 语法:P)

google 了一下， 查到文档:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/cn/linux/l-debugmake.html

 

该文档说make 时使用  -d 参数可以看到大量信息， 试着用 make–d, 最后几行：

This program built fori486-pc-linux-gnu

Reaping losing child 0x080af520PID 6349

看一下，usr/.initramfs_data.cpio.gz.d 为initramfs 的目录列表，

试着删除文件 usr/.initramfs_data.cpio.gz.d 再 Make, 居然不出错了！！！

 

20081007_kernel>rm -fusr/.initramfs_data.cpio.gz.d
