Re: make menuconfig

John,

You will probably get a more complete answer from others, but the whole xconfig definitional structure seems to be rooted at the /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/config.in file. Look thru there and you can eventually find where all the options come from. May have to trace a few "include" files (source directive) but its pretty straight forward. A well formatted recursive grep would probably find a specific CONFIG_XXX define if you just look in all the Config.in files.

I assume config uses these same file(s) but have not verified.

Hello

Is there a guide on how to navitgate the code which makes up Make
menuconfig or make config for that matter?

I am trying to determine how to turn on a particular option using make
menuconfig that is hidden.  I see the code
in the driver which is enabled with a particular CONFIG_XXX option, but I
do not know where this option is in the
make menuconfig program.  Nor, do I know enough about how to track it down.
