Users of the JHALFS tool know there are 2 configuration methods: editing
the config files found in each book directory or using the command line
switches. Today the development team has added a third option:
make menuconfig.
Inspired by the work of Jim Gifford (et al) at Cross-LFS.org we have
added a full blown menu based configuration tool. The menu code was
lifted from BusyBox-1.2.3 and modified to fit our needs. (patch is
included in the directory) All the parameters in the config files and
the command line switches are available in the new menu system.
Merging all the available parameters into a single menu system is bound
to created bugs. We ask for your help in highlighting our mistakes and
oversights. The online help needs fleshing out and that will be improved
over time with your help.
The generated configuration file is used by jhalfs and the normal checks
are done to validate the selections you have make. The configuration
file is _only_ used when jhalfs is launched via the Makefile.
To create a configuration file without running jhalfs (kick the tires)
make menuconfig
To create a configuration file and 'launch' jhalfs
make
Give it a try and let us know if you have complaints or suggestions.
