4.6 compilation error when making signing key

[James Morris]

I'm seeing this with the 4.6 kernel build:

CHK include/generated/compile.h
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `signing_key.pem', needed by
`certs/signing_key.x509'. Stop.
make: *** [certs] Error 2

Can I have a look at your .config just in case? I presume you don't have a
signing_key.pem anywhere?

CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY="signing_key.pem"

This should be 'certs/signing_key.pem', right?

I'm not sure how it ended up like that -- perhaps something happened in my
next branch (which shares the same .config generally).

Yeah - it only gets autogenerated if it's that:

ifeq ($(CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY),"certs/signing_key.pem")

from certs/Makefile.

It may have leaked from an earlier version before the mechanism got moved to
the certs/ directory.
