| |
(aside: i do realize that the "make xconfig" graphical config screen doesn't represent the actual, underlying logistics for kernel configuration, so i'm going to spend more time concentrating on the underlying kbuild language. but here's a fairly obvious flaw in make xconfig anyway.)
"make xconfig" will not display simple config entries at the top menu level.
granted, at the moment, there *are* none of these, but if you examine arch/i386/Kconfig, it's clear that such things are at least possible -- X86, MMU, SWAP and so on. (i deduce that, if a config entry has no label on its type attribute, it is not to be displayed, right?)
if you add a bogus label to the "bool" line for, say, the X86 entry, that selection appears properly as a checkbox in "make menuconfig", but is never displayed for "make xconfig".

p.s. and, no, i don't know enough about Qt to devise a patch for this. some day, maybe ...
