This is a copy of the kconfig code in the kernel (currently 2.6.24.4) tweaked to suit Buildroot. To update: cp -r /usr/src/linux/scripts/kconfig package/config.new cd package/config.new cp /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt . patch -p1 < ../config/kconfig-to-buildroot2.patch mv Makefile Makefile.kconfig cp ../config/README.buildroot2 . cp ../config/foo.h . cp ../config/Makefile . cp ../config/kconfig-to-buildroot2.patch . cd .. rm -rf config mv config.new config Then verify the toplevel targets work: config defconfig menuconfig oldconfig
