[in a clean build] Nope, it's ARCH-dependent, so if your modified files are all ARM- or MIPS- or whatever-dependent, allyesconfig on x86(64) won't touch (or build) them. > say I've created a patch which touches files from > different subsystems & now i have to compile test it > > so either i manually configure the kernel so that modules corresponding > to all the modified files are included or i find out a way to say > "compile everything" > is "allyesconfig" the answer? > -- allyesconfig builds everything that is applicable to $ARCH. However, for some ARCHes, allyesconfig (or allmodconfig) isn't expected to work (i.e., build cleanly), especially for ARM, probably for other embedded platforms which are very board-specific. --- ~Randy *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
