Hi,

This patch adds 'make menuconfig' support to EGLIBC.


EGLIBC can re-use the Linux kernel kconfig host tools ('conf' and 'mconf') unmodified, by passing appropriate environment variables and with some pre- and post-processing on the input/output config files.

There are three new make targets supported, which all are defined in the new libc/options-config/Makefile, which is included by the top-level libc/Makefile:

- 'make defconfig'. This passes 'libc/option-groups.defaults' to 'conf' as a default config, and outputs 'option-groups.config' to the top-level build directory, which will be the same as the default config.

- 'make config'. This is the same line-oriented interface as in the Linux kernel. Input and output is 'option-groups.config' in the top-level build directory.

- 'make menuconfig'. This is the same menu-based interface as in the Linux kernel. Input and output is 'option-groups.config' in the top-level build directory.


Pre-Processing:


The Linux kernel kconfig tools expect a prefix of "CONFIG_" on all config option names, but EGLIBC expects a prefix of "OPTION_". The pre-processing script, libc/options-config/config-preproc.pl, simply replaces "CONFIG_ with "OPTION_" in the given config file. The libc/options-config/Makefile passes the script output to a temporary config file, which is then passed to 'conf' or 'mconf'.

Post-Processing (libc/options-config/config-postproc.pl):


- Disabled options are output as a comment line of the form "# CONFIG_FOO is not set". This needs to be changed to an explicit "CONFIG_FOO=n" in order to be compatible with 'option-groups.awk' which generates the option-groups.h header.

- "CONFIG_" prefix is changed back to "OPTION_".


- The kconfig tools will not output anything for options that depend on a parent option, when the parent option is disabled. This implicit disable must be converted to an explicit "CONFIG_FOO=n" in order to be compatible with the way EGLIBC overrides the default option settings in 'libc/option-groups.defaults' with those in 'option-groups.config'.


A new configure option, '--with-kconfig=<PATH>', tells EGLIBC where to find the pre-built 'conf' and 'mconf' host tools from Linux kernel builds.

libc/EGLIBC.cross-building is updated to include instructions for using '--with-kconfig' for the final EGLIBC build, and shows how and when to run 'make *config'.

libc/EGLIBC.option-groups is updated to include new information on the menuconfig support.

Thanks,

attached is the updated patch to address above issues.

Steve

+Note the additional '--with-kconfig' option. This tells EGLIBC where to
+find the host config tools used by the kernel 'make config' and 'make
+menuconfig'.  These tools can be re-used by EGLIBC for its own 'make
+*config' support, which will create 'option-groups.config' for you.
+But first make sure those tools have been built by running some
+dummy 'make *config' calls in the kernel directory:
+
+    $ cd $obj/linux
+    $ PATH=$tools/bin:$PATH make config \
+    >      ARCH=$linux_arch CROSS_COMPILE=$target- \
+    $ PATH=$tools/bin:$PATH make menuconfig \
+    >      ARCH=$linux_arch CROSS_COMPILE=$target- \
+
+Now we can configure and build the full EGLIBC:
+
+    $ cd $obj/eglibc
+    $ PATH=$tools/bin:$PATH make defconfig
+    $ PATH=$tools/bin:$PATH make menuconfig
     $ PATH=$tools/bin:$PATH make
     $ PATH=$tools/bin:$PATH make install install_root=$sysroot

 We have used the system to subset some portions of EGLIBC's
 functionality.  It needs to be extended to cover more of the library.
-
-At the moment, EGLIBC performs no sanity checks on the contents of
-'option-groups.config'; if an option group's name is mistyped, the
-option group is silently included in the build.  EGLIBC should check
-that all variables set in 'option-groups.config' are proper option
-group names, and that their values are appropriate.
-
-Some portions of EGLIBC depend on others; for example, the Sun Remote
-Procedure Call functions in 'sunrpc' depend on the networking
-functions in 'inet'.  The sanity checking described above should check
-that the selection configuration satisfies dependencies within EGLIBC,
-and produce a legible error message if it does not.  At the moment,
-inconsistent configurations produce link errors late in the build
-process.
-
-The Linux kernel's configuration system provides interactive
-interfaces for creating and modifying configuration files (which also
-perform the sanity checking and dependency tracking described above).
-EGLIBC should provide similar interfaces.
