??配置分为三步进行
??根据特定架构利用arch/$ARCH/configs/${PLATFORM}_defconfig在根目录中创建.config。
"make defconfig"
Create a ./.config file by using the default symbol values from either arch/$ARCH/defconfig or arch/$ARCH/configs/${PLATFORM}_defconfig, depending on the architecture.??.config文件是编译的关键。
"make menuconfig"
Text based color menus, radiolists & dialogs.??几乎所有文件夹下都有Kconfig这个文件。那么这个文件究竟用来做什么呢？
??这与menuconfig有关。scripts\kconfig\lxdialog目录下的一些c文件就是用来提供menuconfig的那些程序源代码。而menuconfig中的配置项全部来自于每个目录下的Kconfig。
menuconfig NETDEVICES
default y if UML
depends on NET
bool "Network device support"
---help---
You can say N here if you don‘t intend to connect your Linux box to
any other computer at all.
You‘ll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.
See also "The Linux Network Administrator‘s Guide" by Olaf Kirch and
Terry Dawson. Available at <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.
If unsure, say Y.
# All the following symbols are dependent on NETDEVICES - do not repeat
# that for each of the symbols.
if NETDEVICES
config IFB
tristate "Intermediate Functional Block support"
depends on NET_CLS_ACT
---help---
This is an intermediate driver that allows sharing of
resources.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called ifb. If you want to use more than one ifb
device at a time, you need to compile this driver as a module.
Instead of ‘ifb‘, the devices will then be called ‘ifb0‘,
‘ifb1‘ etc.
Look at the iproute2 documentation directory for usage etc??menuconfig表示当前显示的目录层级，属于bool中的字符串。
??config表示当前目录下的可配置项。
??tristate表示三态，bool表示两态。
??depends表示依赖关系
??menuconfig中的菜单项来自于Kconfig中的配置。经过menuconfig后，被修改的选项会保存到.config中，最终导致Makefile的编译变化。
