Hi Ulf, This is interesting. I just wish I could read it. ;) I'll get over it. 1. It would be really Good to have "make scriptconfig SCRIPT=<path to script>" and "make iscriptconfig" (similar to above, but shortened) in "make help" output. 2. My first test (using your ex1.py script) failed because I used O=xx64 (build directory): rddunlap@chimera:lnx-2638-rc3> make O=xx64 scriptconfig SCRIPT=~/pkg/kconfiglib/ex1.py GEN /lnx/src/lnx-2638-rc3/xx64/Makefile Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/rddunlap/pkg/kconfiglib/ex1.py", line 1, in <module> import kconfiglib ImportError: No module named kconfiglib make[2]: *** [scriptconfig] Error 1 make[1]: *** [scriptconfig] Error 2 make: *** [sub-make] Error 2 Does kconfiglib support O=builddir generally? I can't tell that it does (yet) since all ex[1-7].py fail in this manner. It needs to support/allow O=builddir. Thanks. I'll keep looking... --- ~Randy *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** -- 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
