Question 1.
I am following the serveral tutorials for recompile source kernel.
(for example http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html )
All goes ok BUT when i modify a single files
(for example just fs.h)
and i redo all the steps, it recompiles ALL the .o and all the files in the kernel without "touching" only the modified file.
why is that ? am i missing something? Is it normal ?
Question 2.
I got some kernel code how can i know for which kernel version has been written?
I ask this because this code is working for sure but it wont compile on my kernel version so I have reasons to believe that it is written for some particular kernel versions
(example i am using the 2.6.38.8, is it possible that the code suits for the 2.6.3x.y ? what is for sure that the code is written in 2.6.z.w)
p.s. i'm very sorry about my bad english :D
