Re: kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl/Makefile not found

[Ron M]

1. Don't use generic_x86 it's deprecated.
2. I am not sure about the specific target - but there are reasonable
chances that "touch Makefile" in this directory will get you through.
That is a workaround for when you try to make mrproper the kernel, you
would fail on the same error.

The better solution would be modifying some makefile somewhere for SUB_DIRS etc.

The broadcom wifi driver source will be downloaded
from internet directly. Probably you don't have
a valid internet connection on making.

If you don't need the driver, you can remove
CONFIG_WL=m in the kernel config.

Hi Ron and Chih-Wei,

thank you both for your kind replies.

For archiving purposes:

* Indeed, there was no Internet connection at the time of making.

* Meanwhile, I succeeded compiling by removing in the kernel config the Broadcom drivers (even without Internet connection).

Given Ron's suggestion, I will try the EEE-PC image instead to start from for my platform.

Best regards,

Pieter

Thank you for pointing this bug.
The patch is applied.

In view of the generic_x86-eng lunch is deprecated on Android-x86 4.0,  it is better to remove the generic_x86 option of page and compile option of lunch command in Android-x86 source compile. 

I am the lucky guy to choose the generic_x86 TARGET_PRODUCT on compiling the source code = =！
