./configure
make all
make install
The configure script run the equivalent of "make config" and
"make depend", compiling everything as module that can be compiled
as a module, answering "yes" to other boolean questions, and taking
the default to multiple choice questions, with the following
exceptions:
o CONFIG_ROMFS_FS, CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF, and
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM are compiled in, because
they are needed for a ramdisk-based boot
process.
o CONFIG_MAX_16M and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE (use
old IDE driver instead of new one) are set to "n".
Ultimately, the sense of these questions should be
reversed, so that answering "y" means "do the more
sophisticated thing".
o CONFIG_AP1000 is deactivated on Sparc, because this
currently deactivates support for most common Sparc
machines.
o CONFIG_APM and CONFIG_STALDRV are deactivated on
non-x86 architectures, because they contain
x86 asm statements.
After running "./configure", you can always edit these
choices by running "make config", "make xconfig", "make menuconfig",
or editing the .config file and running "make old-config". It is
completely compatible with all of the other kernel configuration
methods.
The advantages of this system are as follows:
1. It will be easier for people to build the
Linux kernel, so more potential developers
will be encouraged to try it. (Never underestimate
the importance of ease of use.)
2. Because this standard configuration compiles
almost everything in the kernel source tree,
it will be much easier to verify that a large
amount of each kernel release does compile.
3. By moving most customization out of the kernel
binary and into an initial ramdisk, it will
be practical to distribute a standard kernel
binary.
There is another side to this scheme, which involves
building the intial ramdisk with genromfs, but this patch is
for the modifications to the kernel sources. This patch does
not break anything in kernel or require anyone to change the
method that they currently use to configure the kernel. It is
simple and inoccuous, but, I believe, quite useful. I would like
to ask that it be integrated into the main 2.1 release.
