[Buildroot] using LINUX_DIR variable in BR

[ravi chandran]

Hi,
     I am trying to include the path of the linux kernel(source located in
output/build/linux) in one of the makefile which is located outside the
linux directory.

KERNEL_DIR := $(LINUX_DIR).

But when i try to refer the  KERNEL_DIR , it is empty.

Am i missing something here, can some one please help?

I used LINUX_DIR variable as it is mentioned in the BR doc

You may also reference (but you may *not* set!) those variables:

   - LINUX_DIR contains the path to where the Linux kernel has been
   extracted and built.
   - LINUX_VERSION contains the version string as configured by the user.
   - LINUX_VERSION_PROBED contains the real version string of the kernel,
   retrieved with running make -C $(LINUX_DIR) kernelrelease
   - KERNEL_ARCH contains the name of the current architecture, like arm,
   mips…

Thanks,
Ravi
