Hi Folks.
Hope the vacation was refreshing. :-)
I have added a few new files in the console directory to try to
support a new console device. I am trying to get them to compile. I
have made the necessary obj-${CONFIG_FUNC_FOO} += foo_file.o
change to the Makefile in the "/drivers/video/console/" directory. I
have also set CONFIG_FUNC_FOO=y in the .config file. However, when I
try to build the kernel, I get the following message.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.6.9]# make vmlinux
CHK include/linux/version.h
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/ia64/Kconfig
.config:753: trying to assign nonexistent symbol CONFIG_FUNC_FOO
#
# using defaults found in .config
#
...
...
...
Also, the CONFIG_FUNC_FOO entry is removed from the .config file.
The kernel build fails due to non-inclusion of the required foo_file.o
I know I am missing something very obvious here. I am reading the
kbuild Documentation. However, a pointer as to what is wrong would
help.
Thanks & Regards,
Karthik
