From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Stephan Hoffmann Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2013 17:08:26 +0100 Subject: [Buildroot] Linux and busybox-configfiles Message-ID: <510550FA.10502@relinux.de> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net Hello all, buildroot provides direct calls to the configuration menus for busybox and linux: make linux-menuconfig make busybox-menuconfig Additionally, there is a linux-savedefconfig make target. All these save their output in the build directory, so that all changes get lost when "make clean" is called. Thus I don't think that I am the only one who has been surprised to notice that "make busybox-menuconfig && make clean && make" does not have any effect on busybox's configuration. I have prepared two patches that save these config files in $(TOPDIR), where buildroot's own config file lives. After "make clean", these files are used instead of those named in the buildroot config. Calling "make xxx-defconfig" removes the saved config files, so that again the configuration from buildroot's config file is used. The same issue appears with uClibc, ct-ng and probably others, but I do not think that many users modify these settings. If these patches get accepted I will update the documentation, too.
