I figured out that the files file was okay, I was looking at the wrong one.
I still can't build the new target though.  I have the SABLE conf file
in my sandbox, but it is not copied to the obj directory.

Thanks,
Kate

This is probably a build 101 question, but anyway ...
I'm trying to build a kernel for Sable, a new cpu.
I bcreate'd the new files, added them to the files
file, and edited the conf files (BINARY, and created
a SABLE conf file).  When I started the build in
my sandbox, I couldn't get the sable files to build.
I also noticed the files file in the obj directory
is not the same as my files file in my sandbox.
I'm backed by minor.bl4.  I don't really care what
I'm backed against at this point so I could easily
resb.

Any suggestions about what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks,
Kate

I think you need to change the kernel/Makefile and kernel/conf/Makefile
to include the SABLE configuration.  If you intend to do only 'build
SABLE' and has set KERNEL_CONFIG then you won't need the
kernel/Makefile.

In kernel/conf/Makefile, add SABLE to CONFIGFILES.

In kernel/Makefile, add SABLE to CONFIGFILES, add SABLE to OTHERS and
include it in the target list for the line containing

	GENERIC ...:  $$@_config $$@_depend $$@_vmunix

Let me know how if it really works:-)
