Rather than have lots of ifeq elif elif ... in xen/drivers/Makefile, it would be farsimpler to do: OBJS-$(CONFIG_ACPI) += acpi and let Config-$(XEN_TARGET_ARCH).mk set CONFIG_ACPI or not. Well, let's start by fixing your current need, which is for the non-optional config parameters, and see how that pans out. Some general cleaning up of the build system would be good and can probably be done by a set of consecutive patches rather than a 'big bang' approach. For example, I don't think using GNU make's wildcards has worked well for working out what files to build, as we end up needing gross patsubst's to remove the files that are not to be included in the current build. Just explicitly listing the files to build would be better imo. If we could do that and also have Linux-style OBJ-<foo> style then that would be nice. Do you want to cook up some tentative patches? Small increments are good as build systems tend to be fragile beasts, and ours is no exception. :-) -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
