A problem with xconfig

A problem with xconfig

[George Anzinger]

In looking at the makefile history, it would appear that libkconfig.so has been 
deleted from the build.  It seems, however, that qconf has not gotten the message:

  make O=/usr/src/ver/makena/obj/  xconfig ARCH=i386
   HOSTCXX scripts/kconfig/qconf.o
   HOSTLD  scripts/kconfig/qconf
scripts/kconfig/qconf arch/i386/Kconfig
./scripts/kconfig/libkconfig.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory
make[2]: *** [xconfig] Error 1
make[1]: *** [xconfig] Error 2
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2

It used to be so but was addressed in a patch to scripts/kconfig/Makefile
a few weeks ago. Do you see it with latest -linus / -mm?

Gosh, did I do that.  Forgot to say it was the 2.6.9 kernel.  Am I the only one 
using xconfig??

No - but the fault only happens when you are starting from a fesh tree.
Running mrporper would not delete the old .so file (kbuild 'lost' knowledge
of it). So most people have just untarred a new kernel on top
of the old one and it still worked.

Also the reason why I failed to fix it in the first place. xconfig and gconfig
worked even after mrproper - because the .so file survived.

Yeah, we are using "quilt" in a big way now and it like to start with new trees.
