Hello. When I use 'make oldconfig', all the questions has default answers to them. Where do the default answers come from ? Can the feature's author decide what is the default answer ?
Hi Ramgudi, If your kernel root directory already has a .config file, then "make oldconfig" will fetch ansyers from that. It will though prompt you for any options in listed in Kconfig files, that have not been assigned in the .config file. This can be useful if you change some Kconfig file and then want to recompile by just changing those options you added.
Or are these actually the answers that come from "make defconfig" ?
In the event there is no .config file in the kernel root directory, then yes, they come from the architecture specific "defconfig" file.
