[kbuild-devel] fwd: [BusyBox] CONFIG_ name clashing with kernel
Hi, This might be more interesting on this list than on the Busybox one.

I currently import the Busybox Kconfig into the PTXdist Kconfig files when configuring BB under PTXdist; the regexp magic needed to get a unique name space is really, really uggly; it is done by https://iocaste.penguin.de/viewsvn/ptxdist/trunks/ptxdist-0.7-trunk/config/busybox-1.0.0/Extract?rev=1923view=auto in combination with https://iocaste.penguin.de/viewsvn/ptxdist/trunks/ptxdist-0.7-trunk/scripts/mkprefix?rev=1931view=auto (user: guest; pass: guest) Unfortunately, Kconfig itself does not know about configurable namespaces. I've patched the version used in PTXdist to prefix our config variables with PTXCONF_ instead of CONFIG_, the patch to do this is here, it is not very generic because of some hard coded string length calculations: https://iocaste.penguin.de/viewsvn/ptxdist/trunks/ptxdist-0.7-trunk/scripts/ptx-modifications/ Kconfig is now being used by quite some other projects than only the Linux kernel (Busybox, buildroot, uCLinux Distro, PTXdist, ...), so it would be a cool feature to have kconfig command which lets you configure a default prefix, maybe menu dependend, so it would be possible to do something like --8--8--8--8--8-- prefix PTXCONF_ - somewhere outside the menus, defaults to CONFIG_ menu Bla config FOO prompt The Foo Feture - results in PTXCONF_FOO endmenu ... menu Busybox prefix PTXCONF_BB_ - in Busybox menu config FOO - results in PTXCONF_BB_FOO prompt The Foo feature of BB endmenu menu Blub config BAR - results in PTXCONF_BAR prompt The Bar Feature endmenu --8--8--8--8--8-- This would make it possible to simply include the whole Busybox configuration into PTXdist without a single change.

[kbuild-devel] Converter cml1-kconfig?
Hi, is a standalone converter script from cml1 to kconfig still available somewhere? I remember having read that there was one during the 2.5 inclusion. I'm currently writing a kconfig based distro build tool (you can use it to configure your user space for embedded devices) and I'm including the configuration of busybox (works just fine) and the kernel (here's the problem). So I'll have to convert the 2.4 kernel configuration to kconfig if possible, and using the script would be really helpful. Robert -- Dipl.-Ing.

[kbuild-devel] string and if
Hi, I'm currently trying to port a program which used CML1 to lkc/kconfig. Now I need a string variable which is dependend on a bool. Shouldn't this: config GNU_TARGET string i386-linux if OPT_I386 string i486-linux if OPT_I486 string i686-linux if OPT_I686 string arm-linux if OPT_ARM4 default -not configured- for example give GNU_TARGET=arm-linux in case OPT_ARM4=y? It doesn't work, I get -not configured-, no matter which option is defined. This is basically lkc-1.2, taken from Roman's web site. Robert -- Dipl.-Ing.
