1*10465441SEvalZeroThis package contains the kconfig frontends and parser. 2*10465441SEvalZero 3*10465441SEvalZeroKconfig is the configuration language used by the Linux kernel. This package 4*10465441SEvalZerois a simple copy of the frontends and the parser found in the Linux kernel 5*10465441SEvalZerosource tree, with very minor changes to adapt them to being built out of 6*10465441SEvalZerothe kernel build infrastructure. 7*10465441SEvalZero 8*10465441SEvalZeroThis package does *not* take any change to the parser or frontends. Such 9*10465441SEvalZerochanges shall be directed directly to the appropriate mailing list, and they 10*10465441SEvalZerowill eventually find their way is this package at the next sync: 11*10465441SEvalZero mailto:[email protected] 12*10465441SEvalZero 13*10465441SEvalZeroHowever, if there is a bug in the packaging infrastructure, patches are 14*10465441SEvalZeromost welcome, of course! Most notably, because this is my very first 15*10465441SEvalZeroautostuff-based package, I may have done mistakes here and there... 16*10465441SEvalZero 17*10465441SEvalZeroAs such, there are currently a few known limitations: 18*10465441SEvalZero 19*10465441SEvalZero- statically linking is much, much more complex than it should be. I have 20*10465441SEvalZero been seemingly able to build part of the frontends with such incantations 21*10465441SEvalZero of ./configure and make: 22*10465441SEvalZero ./configure LDFLAGS=-static nconf_EXTRA_LIBS=-lgpm \ 23*10465441SEvalZero --disable-shared --enable-static \ 24*10465441SEvalZero --disable-gconf --disable-qconf 25*10465441SEvalZero make LDFLAGS="-all-static -static-libtool-libs" 26*10465441SEvalZero 27*10465441SEvalZero- the nconf frontends requires (at least on my machine) to be linked against 28*10465441SEvalZero GPM; this is not detected when statically linking (hence the nconf_EXTRA_LIBS 29*10465441SEvalZero in the command above). 30*10465441SEvalZero 31*10465441SEvalZero- statically linking the graphical frontends (gconf and qconf) is *not* 32*10465441SEvalZero supported: I am missing static libs for Qt3Support, so qconf does not link. 33*10465441SEvalZero And there is a stupid bug in libtool that prevents properly linking against 34*10465441SEvalZero installed static libraries (seemingly fixed in 2.4, but not quite yet, in 35*10465441SEvalZero fact...), so gconf does not link. That's why they are disabled above. 36*10465441SEvalZero 37*10465441SEvalZeroFor a list of known issues, please also refer to file docs/known-issues.txt. 38*10465441SEvalZero 39*10465441SEvalZeroNote that, provided you have the required dependencies, all frontends are 40*10465441SEvalZeroproperly built if you link dynamically. The following just works as expected: 41*10465441SEvalZero ./configure && make 42*10465441SEvalZero 43*10465441SEvalZeroNote: if using the git tree, or changing the autostuff sources, you'll first 44*10465441SEvalZerohave to run: 45*10465441SEvalZero autoreconf -fi 46
