How do you sort out something like this: config FOO bool "Foo" depends on (A && B) || C Do you enable A and B, A, B and C or just C? Bear in mind that A could be 'X86', 'M68K' or any other arch specific symbol. I prefer the warning method because it prompts you to investigate what's changed and sort out the problem by ensuring that the appropriate symbols are also selected. The automatic selection of dependencies method carries the risk that it'll do the wrong thing with the above scenario. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
