Using menuconfig as an intro to ncurses
Since menuconfig is the ncurses based menu system for compiling
a kernel, I thought it might be a good place to start looking at how ncurses programming functions. Several menu configurations are available when compiling a kernel: Code:
make config there are no separate instruction files corresponding to these names and having looked into make with a HEX editor, there seems to be no reference to the options internally. Not being a programmer, I am at somewhat of a loss. Can anyone provide a concise explanation of the inner workings here? |
If you start configuring a fresh kernel with any of those commands you will see a few lines of output in the terminal you run this from.
This points to the place where the scripts (rather the source for these) are located - on the last line is then the name of the script which is first built and then used: Code:
make menuconfig |
