Does xconfig come with kernel RPM?

Does xconfig come with kernel RPM?

Post by b_tra.. » Sat, 29 Apr 2000 04:00:00



I have Mandrake 6.0 (Venus) installed, and since it was a cover CD
included in a magazine, there are some things that DON'T
necessarily wind up in the hard drive, taking up precious space.
I am about to upgrade to a more secure kernel, as recommended in
their website, and I want to make sure I have everything ready.

But where is xconfig? Or for that matter, menuconfig? Do they come
with any of these RPMS:
  kernel-2.2.1x
  kernel-docs-*
  kernel-headers-*
  kernel-source-*

Any help is appreciated, grassy ass as they say here in Miami

xconfig and menuconfig are not programs.  They are Makefile targets:

: xconfig: symlinks
:         $(MAKE) -C scripts kconfig.tk
:         wish -f scripts/kconfig.tk
:
: menuconfig: include/linux/version.h symlinks
:         $(MAKE) -C scripts/lxdialog all
:         $(CONFIG_SHELL) scripts/Menuconfig arch/$(ARCH)/config.in

You get them by running either "make xconfig" or "make menuconfig" (at the
right time, in the right place).
