make menuconfig, driver support, character device drivers

make menuconfig, driver support, character device drivers

[daniele giacomini]

Hello,
I just downloaded a kernel CVS copy from
:pserver:anonymous@elks.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/elks and I tryed
to compile it.
The character device drivers had a note, telling that it was broken.

I fond that the problem was the script
<elks>/arcs/i86/drivers/char/KeyMaps/mkcfg
The problem is the sort command, that does not allow the option "+1f".
The fix is very simple; please, applay for me.

PS: i just noticed that the email address elks@jodybruchon.com is not
valid; I hope that the CVS maintainer is reading the list and that the
fix will be applied. :-)

Nice fix! I'd been using -f, but -k 2 works better.
Since we're on the topic, can bug 1953832 (also deals with this issue) be marked as closed/fixed then?
