(e.g. sound) If you _ever_ catch me getting confused because I'm trying to build an ISDN driver and I can't work out that in order to do this, I might need to first enable CONFIG_ISDN, then I promise you I will change my name by deed poll to 'Aunt Tillie'. It isn't hard to find dependencies by looking in the Kconfig files, even if they are slightly less blindingly obvious than that example. I think 'make xconfig' will even show you the dependencies these days. I remember even in about 1996 the Nemesis folks had hacked the old tcl xconfig script to show dependencies. Finding the brain-damaged 'select' which is preventing me from turning a given option _off_, however, is something I tend to find far more difficult. The CONFIG_EMBEDDED crap took up a painful amount of my time last week when it bit me too. -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
