Compiling the ACPI tools when output directory parameter is specified, but the output directory is not present, triggers the following error: make O=/data/test/tmp/ -C tools/power/acpi/ make: Entering directory '/data/src/kernel/linux/tools/power/acpi' DESCEND tools/acpidbg make[1]: Entering directory '/data/src/kernel/linux/tools/power/acpi/tools/acpidbg' MKDIR include CP include CC tools/acpidbg/acpidbg.o Assembler messages: Fatal error: can't create /data/test/tmp/tools/power/acpi/tools/acpidbg/acpidbg.o: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [../../Makefile.rules:24: /data/test/tmp/tools/power/acpi/tools/acpidbg/acpidbg.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/data/src/kernel/linux/tools/power/acpi/tools/acpidbg' make: *** [Makefile:18: acpidbg] Error 2 make: Leaving directory '/data/src/kernel/linux/tools/power/acpi' which occurs because the output directory has not been created yet. Fix this issue by creating the output directory before compiling.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
