Description broot 2013-02-22 11:54:45 UTC 
fusion.o is copied to target/lib/modules/drivers/(kernel-ver)/drivers/char/fusion
instead of fusion.ko
Comment 1 Gustavo Zacarias 2013-02-22 12:17:57 UTC 
How about some context here?
Your report is seriously lacking in detail.
How did you get that result? A config, something!
Comment 2 broot 2013-02-22 13:52:29 UTC 
Any? config, select kernel to build (dependancy of fusion) and then fusion package in graphics packages (BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_FUSION)

fusion.ko would build in
buildroot-2012.11/output/build/linux-fusion-8.10.4/linux/drivers/char/fusion
however fusion.o will be installed to target.

I don't remember which release this started to show in, but some older releases did it correctly.

Comment 4 Arnout Vandecappelle 2013-02-23 17:17:22 UTC 
It's a bug in linux-fusion's Makefile: it thinks that you're compiling against linux 2.4.x.

It's been fixed in linux-fusion 9.0.0.

I'll send a version bump patch - can you test if it works in your setup?
Comment 5 broot 2013-02-23 19:38:16 UTC 
It copies correctly now, thanks.
