igb, ixgbe: kcompat-generator.sh script fails if kernel build dir isn't same as kernel source dir

[NiTr0]

I have linux kernel built in separate directory (make oldconfig O=<kernel build dir>). when I try to build igb/ixgbe driver using builddir as KSRC - kcompat-generator fails to find includes in builddir (they are placed in source/include/...., not include/...); when I try to specify source dir as KSRC - it fails to find config.

I need to patch kcompat-generator.sh to look in source/include/... directory for includes.

maybe it'll be good to check source/includes dir for headers, and add 'source/' prefix if includes are in source/include?

Trouble is related to linux network adapter drivers - driver buiding was broken after switching to kcompat-generator.sh instead of kernel version checking when kernel is built in separate directory.

I tried to register in e1000 mailing list - I've got confirmation message, clicked 'confirm' button and then nothing is happened. I tried twice.
