Also, is there a reason why we can't do something not completely unlike
this [very sloppy, quick, and ugly] hack:
if [ "$ARCH" = "sparc" -o "$ARCH" = "sparc64" ]; then
if ["$CONFIG_FONT_8x8" != "y" -a "$CONFIG_FONT_8x16" != "y" -a
"$CONFIG_FONT_SUN12x22" != "y" -a "$CONFIG_FONT_6x11" != "y" -a
"$CONFIG_FONT_PEARL_8x8" != "y" -a "$CONFIG_FONT_ACORN_8x8" != "y" ]; then
define_bool CONFIG_FONT_SUN8x16 y
else
bool 'Sparc console 8x16 font' CONFIG_FONT_SUN8x16
fi
i realize this doesn't actually work, but i'd like to have some ambitions
towards making CONFIG_FONT_SUN8x16 a default, such that we no longer get
the pesky 'no font defined' error message halfway through a compile. (I've
been hacking at this all... morning?.. and havn't gotten it to work...)
also, i'm wondering about the
bool 'Select other fonts' CONFIG_FBCON_FONTS
if [ "$CONFIG_FBCON_FONTS" = "y" ]; then
bool ' VGA 8x8 font' CONFIG_FONT_8x8
bool ' VGA 8x16 font' CONFIG_FONT_8x16
...
else
define_bool CONFIG_FONT_8x8 y
define_bool CONFIG_FONT_8x16 y
...
fi
construct circa line 286 ... is there any reason we need this on sparc?
