Re: [Xen-devel] 3.4.0 wants to download Linux despite its presence

[Patrick Colp <Patrick.Colp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Doing make xen and make tools should be just fine (I do this regularly, as 
I don't want or need Linux to be constantly rebuilt and reinstalled when 
I'm only changing things to Xen and/or tools).
Did you install them after building (make install-xen and make 
install-tools)? I think you need to be sudo for it to install properly.
