Roman probably knows better than I do, but anyway. AFAICS, "quiet" only means the same thing as the traditional "make oldconfig", but suppressing questions where the answers are known. (Which I think is fine) I was just referring to the following, which really is not in the subtle change category: ------------------------------------------------------------- [kai@zephyr linux-2.5.make]$ rm .config [kai@zephyr linux-2.5.make]$ make *** *** You have not yet configured your kernel! *** *** Please run some configurator (e.g. "make oldconfig" or *** "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"). *** make: *** [.config] Error 1 ------------------------------------------------------------- whereas lkc changes this to run (the quiet) make oldconfig automatically. Same thing for ------------------------------------------------------------- [kai@zephyr linux-2.5.make]$ cp ../config-2.5 .config [kai@zephyr linux-2.5.make]$ make make[1]: Entering directory `/home/kai/src/kernel/v2.5/linux-2.5.make/scripts' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kai/src/kernel/v2.5/linux-2.5.make/scripts' *** *** You changed .config w/o running make *config? *** Please run "make oldconfig" *** ------------------------------------------------------------- Since people run automated builds, erroring out is IMHO preferable to dropping into interactive mode, which likely happens when you run make oldconfig. --Kai ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel
