Subject: Make file request: default adddepmod instead of allyesmod
Date: Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:03:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AF32F8D.4090900@hoogenraad.net> (raw)

I tried to guide a newbie through compiling v4l.
v4l did not compile right away, because of a problem in one of the drivers

I myself have not experienced this problem as I have used make alldepmod, where the offending driver was not selected.

Can the default config be reprogrammed from all yes (which might easily fail on certain kernel versions) to the all dep config ?

That way, new users have more chance to have a succesful make right away.
