Some distributions aim at not shipping any files in / ustside of usr.

The path under which kernel modules are instaleld is hardcoded to /lib
which conflicts with this goal.

When kmod provides the config command use it to determine the correct
module installation prefix.

On kmod that does not provide the command / is used as before.

echo -e 'KERNEL_MODULE_PREFIX := $(shell kmod config | jq -r

invalid command 'config'
parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 5

I think you should pipe kmod's 2> /dev/null to support older kmod. Ah, 
but you'd need 2> /dev/null for jq too. That would not be good as jq 
might not be installed and a user wouldn't see the error. So instead, I 
would do:

$(shell kmod config &> /dev/null && kmod config | jq -r .module_prefix)

thanks,

Yes, that sounds reasonable. Also would cover the potential problem of
kmod changing the error output into something that is a valid JSON in
the future.

Thanks

"outside".

"installed"

Can you spice it with more commas? While the text is understandable 
after a while of staring, it's hard to parse.

Like:
When kmod provides the config command, use it to determine the correct 
module installation prefix.

On kmod that does not provide the command, / is used as before.





I would also argue here in the commit log on what Masahiro already 
pointed out. I.e. that INSTALL_MOD_PATH is useless in this case and why.
