As of 2.6.0test9 you get an incredibly cryptic error message when a .config has CR-LF line endings. I had to use gdb to figure it out what was happening. There are unfortunately mailers that do that and .configs are sometimes sent by mail.
This patch makes Kconfig parse the config with cr-lf. I did not audit the complete code base for similar issues, just fixed the case I was running into. -Andi diff -u linux-test9bk4/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c-o linux-test9bk4/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c --- linux-test9bk4/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c-o 2003-11-01 21:59:18.000000000 +0100 +++ linux-test9bk4/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c 2003-11-01 22:30:18.000000000 +0100 @@ -151,6 +151,9 @@ p2 = strchr(p, '\n'); if (p2) *p2 = 0; + p2 = strchr(p, '\r'); + if (p2) + *p2 = 0; sym = sym_find(line + 7); if (!sym) { fprintf(stderr, "%s:%d: trying to assign nonexistent symbol %s\n", name, lineno, line + 7); ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
