Attached is a patch for 1.3.27, but it should work with any kernel!
The differences of this script to the other menu scripts are:
It don't uses curses, dialog, perl, or thelike.
It uses arch/i386/config.in to present the menu and uses .config!
This means:
When config.in is changed, it's menu refect the changes!
You can continue to patch the kernel and it's config-rules in
arch/i386/config.in, configure it with *new* rules, without
doing anything to get the menu working, it works simply.
E.g.: When Linus changes CONFIG_SOUND from BOOL to TRISTATE,
(as in pre-1.3.28) it gives you the option to build sound
as a module of course!(only a tiny example)
Structure:
A few lines added a config.in to mark which comments are possible main
menu options and Configure.menu is ready. I have included a patch to
arch/i386/config.in and to arch/sparc/config.in, look at it, and you
can also patch arch/mips/config.in.
Oops: If a menu like 'Network device support' has many types of cards
enabled, the menu wouldn't fit on screen. For now, redisplay it and use
^S/^Q for stop/start or scroll back with SHIFT-PGUP.
It is called by 'make menuconfig'.
I have only tested it for arch/[i386|sparc]/config.in, it lacks the
choice-function for the arch/alpha/config.in yet, but it works for me.
Cheers,
Bernhard
PS: I haven't compressed it to allow people can take a look at it before
giving it a spin. BTW, any comments are welcome. I will be proud if alike of
this may be used in the standard tree.
