Re: how to compile same source multiple times?

["Sandip Bhattacharya" <sandip at mindsw dot com>]

I have had the same problem. I had a file that needed to be compiled in
both userspace and kernelspace. The code was the same but used kernel
equivalent functions.I used a ugly solution which many wont approve, I am sure. I merely used
symlinks. Now this had the advantage that when you actually did 'make
dist' the symlinks were converted into actual copies by gtar.
Hope this helps.
