Hi Ulf,

Do I need to save kconfiglib.py in a special location?

With (new) kconfiglib.py and menuconfig.py, I am getting this:

$ make ARCH=x86_64 O=xx64 iscriptconfig
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/rdunlap/lnx/lnx-417-rc3/xx64'
  GEN     ./Makefile
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'kconfiglib'
>>> 

and then if I (being a Python novice) copy kconfiglib.py to
/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/ and try again, I get 16 warning messages (below)
and then this:

A Kconfig instance 'kconf' for the architecture x86_64 has been created.
>>> 

What am I supposed to do now?

Hm, OK, I used the trick that you supplied a few weeks ago and I have the UI now.

    ARCH=x86 SRCARCH=x86 KERNELVERSION=`make kernelversion` \
        Kconfiglib/menuconfig.py

so yes, a real Makefile target would be nice. :)


thanks,
