[Buildroot] Getting Kconfig menu right

[Buildroot] Getting Kconfig menu right

[Avishay Orpaz]

Hi
I'm trying to add python-fuse to buildroot. I have the makefile working, but
there is only one little problem left. I would like the option for
python-fuse to show up as a sub-item of libfuse, only when libfuse is
checked. It should be similar, for example, to lua - when selected, some
relevant sub-options appear as sub-items in the xconfig menu. I looked very
closely on the lua Config.in, but found nothing that tells Kconfig to show
all the options as a sub-items.
How can I do this?

Thanks,
Avishay

depends on BR2_<lib fuse pkg name>

OR

if BR2_<lib fuse pkg name>

endif

Must be done in the same Config.in as the lib fuse, however.

That's exactly what I did, but the item shows up below libfuse, not as its
child.

If python-fuse is a separate package of libfuse, then there is no way
python-fuse can be a suboption of libfuse. You can only make
python-fuse not visible when libfuse is disabled and make it visible
when libfuse is visible. You'd need a package/python-fuse/Config.in
file that looks like this :

config BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_FUSE
	bool "python-fuse"
	depends on BR2_PACKAGE_LIBFUSE
	depends on BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON
	help
	  This is python-fuse blabla.
