I don't know enough about Kbuild to know if it's possible or not, but I would find it great if the *config targets could take CONFIG_ variables on the command line, like: make oldconfig CONFIG_SMP=y If it's not possible, why not inherit the CONFIG_ options from environment variables, like we already do for $CFLAGS, but only at make *config time in this case? -- Guillaume - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
