Subject: Why do some config options return limited info from a search?
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 00:08:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180319000808.GA5765@bamboo> (raw)
I'm trying to build the required options for my Laptop into the kernel, so not modules. When you search, in make menuconfig, for a config option you usually get very useful info about where it is, in the menus, and what its prompt is. This makes them easier to find.
Sometimes however you get a module which don't give this information. Is this intentional, signify something, or just an oversight for that config option? For example SND_HDA_CORE:
Symbol: SND_HDA_CORE [=m]
Type : tristate
Defined at sound/hda/Kconfig:1
Depends on: SOUND [=y] && !UML && SND [=y]
Selects: REGMAP [=y]
Selected by:
- SND_HDA_EXT_CORE [=m] && SOUND [=y] && !UML && SND [=y]
- SND_HDA [=m] && SOUND [=y] && !UML && SND [=y]
