To quickly go through the config process, I wrote this minor patch that
adds the Makefile option of "phatconfig" and alters scripts/Configure just
a bit.
The idea is that I want to answer "Y" to every bool question, unless it is
listed inside .config, and accept the default (or the contents of .config)
to every other type of question.
The result is that I can:
(echo 'CONFIG_M386=y'; echo 'CONFIG_MODULES=n'; echo 'CONFIG_SOUND=n') \
> .config
make phatconfig
make clean depend;make bzImage
Of course, the above bombs out when compiling. In fact, I haven't been
able to get a phat kernel to compile correctly (I'm now working with
CONFIG_M386=y
CONFIG_MODULES=n
CONFIG_SOUND=n
CONFIG_NET=n
CONFIG_FB=n
CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=n
in hopes of actually finishing a compile).
Perhaps this will help others when trying to figure out cross CONFIG_ item
compatibility.
Enjoy! (yeah right).
