Subject: 2.4.25+ ppc32 "make xconfig" error
Date: Fri, 08 Apr 2005 16:07:31 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <42570EB3.3000905@hypersurf.com> (raw)
Hi,
The make xconfig command spits out the following error (warning):
ERROR - Attempting to write value for unconfigured variable
(CONFIG_ALTIVEC).
This is on a PowerMac 8600 running YellowDog 2.1.
Commenting the VMX thing for the Power4 in arch/ppc/config.in fixes the
problem:
[kevdig@PowerMac8600B ppc]$ diff -U 3 config-{old,new}_in

This problem also prevents you from enabling AltiVec (UI unresponsive).
