Yes, and this happened to me more often than I want to admit. > > One thing to keep in mind - do not make changes to the extracted sources > (since yes, those will be deleted/overwritten with buildtool). I am not sure I understand completely. Example: I want to make a small modification in the kernel configuration. What directory will these changes be made in, as it is neither in apps nor contrib. Basically the sources reside in $BUILDROOT/source/linux/ the mods are done using menuconfig, which will make a modified .config in the linux subdirectory. So far so good, now I am trying to compile the kernel using this config file. .... ./buildtool.pl build kernel this sounds logical to me, but now nothing happens, buildtool appears to be happy with what it got, no need to do something. This is where I am stuck. cheers Erich _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
