One can also delete the .config file, or run make allyesconfig, which will remake the config file. This isn't done by default when a Kconfig change is detected because many Kconfig changes don't invalidate the .config file. Overwriting a custimized .config file and then rebuilding everything would be very annoying in these cases. Unless one knows what they are doing, it's best to run make distclean after updating a repository in place. > Is it possible to create a "oldconfig" label to check the .config file > integrity?

The kernel build system has this feature, but the v4l-dvb build system doesn't. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
