Revert "[PATCH] kconfig: detect if -lintl is needed when linking conf,mconf"

2006-02-09T16:00:14Z

This reverts commit 5e375bc7d586e0df971734a5a5f1f080ffd89b68. Kyle McMartin steps on his soap-box: "Sigh. Can everyone please stop assuming gcc can output to /dev/null? On several platforms, ld tries to lseek in the output file, and fails if it can't." Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] kconfig: detect if -lintl is needed when linking conf,mconf

2006-02-05T19:06:54Z

On a system where libintl.h is present, but the NLS functionality is supplied by a separate library instead of the system C library, an attempt to "make config" or "make menuconfig" will fail with link errors, ex: scripts/kconfig/mconf.o:mconf.c:(.text+0xf63): undefined reference to `_libintl_gettext' This patch attempts to correct the problem by detecting whether or not NLS support requires linking with libintl.

kconfig: fix /dev/null breakage

2006-01-21T11:03:09Z

While running "make menuconfig" and "make mrproper" some people experienced that /dev/null suddenly changed permissions or suddenly became a regular file. The main reason was that /dev/null was used as output to gcc in the check-lxdialog.sh script and gcc did some strange things with the output file; in this case /dev/null when it errorred out. Following patch implements a suggestion from Bryan O'Sullivan to use gcc -print-file-name=libxxx.so. Also the Makefile is adjusted to not resolve value of HOST_EXTRACFLAGS and HOST_LOADLIBES until they are actually used. This prevents us from calling gcc when running make *clean/mrproper Thanks to Eyal Lebedinsky and Jean Delvare for the first error reports. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg ---

kbuild: create .kernelrelease at *config step

2006-01-16T11:12:12Z

To enable 'make kernelrelease' earlier now create .kernelrelease when one of the *config targets are used. Also introduce KERNELVERSION - only user is kconfig. KERNELVERSION was needed to display kernel version in menuconfig - KERNELRELEASE is not valid until configuration has completed. kconfig files modified to use KERNELVERSION.

kconfig: get rid of stray a.o, support ncursesw

2006-01-15T14:28:35Z

scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/check-lxdialog.sh uses gcc to check for what libraries are present. Redirect output to /dev/null so we do not generate an a.out. Also included support for ncursesw - so if present prefer that instead of ncurses. The order is now (first is preferred): 1) ncursesw 2) ncurses 3) curses The latter is to support SunOS.

kconfig: factor out ncurses check in a shell script

2006-01-08T17:39:44Z

Cleaning up the lxdialog Makefile by factoring out the ncurses compatibility checks. This made the checks much more obvious and easier to extend. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg
