Consider the following: config FOO bool "FOO" select BAR config BAR bool "BAR" depends on WHISKEY || VODKA config WHISKEY bool "Thirsty?" config VODKA bool "Need to be drunk" If you choose "FOO" you will get following configuration: # # Automatically generated make config: don't edit # Linux kernel version: # Wed Jun 6 20:54:18 2007 # CONFIG_FOO=y CONFIG_BAR=y # CONFIG_WHISKEY is not set # CONFIG_VODKA is not set And one would say that the dependency of BAR was not correct. But kconfig has no way to determine if WHISKEY or VODKA is the right one. I understand your input but often the reply is that select was used in the wrong way. Sam
