编译时遇到 kernel is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'错误

android :

为 Android 工程编译内核失败，报错信息为：

 kernel/ is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'

于是执行 make mrproper 命令，但又报错找不到 mrproper 目标。
其实我们这时如果在 kernel/Makefile 文件中搜索 "is not clean" 字符串，
就可以找到下面这段代码：

prepare3: include/config/kernel.release
ifneq ($(KBUILD_SRC),)
	@$(kecho) '  Using $(srctree) as source for kernel'
	$(Q)if [ -f $(srctree)/.config -o -d $(srctree)/include/config ]; then \
		echo >&2 "  $(srctree) is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'"; \
		echo >&2 "  in the '$(srctree)' directory.";\
		/bin/false; \
	fi;
endif

这时我们就可以看到，当 kernel/ 目录下存在 .config 文件或在 kernel/include/ 目录下存在 config/ 目录时，shell 就会打印本段开头看到的错误信息并退出。相应的，问题的解决方法就是删除这 2 个对象。 进入 kernel/ 目录下查找，不存在 .config 文件；再进入 kernel/include/ 目录下查找，果然发现了 config/ 目录！进入该目录查看发现它竟然是空的（一个空的目录竟然能导致整个工程编译失败，果然细节影响成败啊！）。删除掉 config/ 目录后回到 Android 工程顶层，重新执行 source 和 lunch 命令，重新编译。编译通过！
