We...ll not exactly 19377 Mar 13 18:24 Makefile (Yup, considerable comment in, as still in test) 2052 Mar 13 14:50 Makefile_sub.c Plus I have associated diffs to apply to Makefile.i386 etc ... Why did I bother & Why should you ? ... # FEATURES: # - Kernel configuration & make, defaulting to a kernel config name # automatically selected on a host name basis; (also does subdir make). # - Supports optional obj tree. # - Supports compilation from cd-rom. # - Supports NFS multiple host parallel simultaneous use of # shared /usr/src. # - Config automatically called if configuration name changes. # - Depend done automatically. # - Overide of default config name by either "make CONFIG=whatever" # or by editing default file. # - Config Selection precedence order & examples: # PRIORITY METHOD # High: make CONFIG=GENERICAH # Medium: echo "GENERICAH" > ${DEFAULT_CONFIG} # Low: Makefile internally does CONFIG=`hostname` BTW, it's taken a hell of a long time to get it this far, so I'm in bug fix mode now, till it's commited, so wo'nt welcome suggestions changing priority order (it ain't easy ;-), after it's proven bug free & commited, it becomes subject to the normal `whoever is prepared to hack it And test it' change procedure (testing all cases is the hard part) Volunteer Testers Requested :-) (Piero &/or Rod perhaps ?) --- Julian Stacey , ( is a dial up )
