Add visual emphasis with colored error message (red background) and provide clearer guidance to users when required applications are missing. Also fix the application check to use recommend_missing_application directly to simplify the error handling flow. This way, unnecessary printing of usage guide is avoided when there's a more fundamental issue at hand like missing packages. Signed-off-by: Dhruva Gole <d-gole@ti.com>
Add -O option to specify a build output directory for out-of-tree kernel builds. This allows using O= make parameter for builds in a separate directory from the kernel source tree. Update all .config and make operations to respect BUILD_OUTPUT_DIR when specified. Signed-off-by: Dhruva Gole <d-gole@ti.com>
