usr/sbin/config assumes that the kernel config file lives in ${src_base}/sys/${arch}/conf , which means that if you need to build a custom kernel one needs RW access to that directory.
Any idea on how we can enable config to work in a generic directory ? I scanned the source code usr.sbin/config and found that it uses hardwired paths -- specifically, it looks for the kernel source tree in "../.." and has multiple hardwired paths such as "../../conf/". There is also a somewhat undocumented access to a file called DEFAULTS that extends the configuration you pass. Any objections to the addition of a "-s" option to config(8) to specify the location of the source tree ? cheers luigi _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
