It Works For Me (TM). I read it and didn't find any obvious errors.
I also tried it with menuconfig and oldconfig.
Here's another cosmetic suggestion: add two spaces to each of the
prompts like this:
hex ' I/O base for SB Check from manual of the card' SBC_BASE 220
Speaking of sound driver configuration, I have an idea for handling
the PSS, Maui, and Trix drivers with standard configuration. The old
configuration method asks the user for a filename, opens that file,
and runs bin2hex or hex2hex on the file to make a file such as
maui_boot.h. We could do this in standard configuration as follows:
# drivers/sound/Config.in:
bool 'Do you have OSWF.MOT file' HAVE_MAUI_BOOT
if [ "$HAVE_MAUI_BOOT" = "y" ]; then
string 'Enter full pathname name of OSWF.MOT file' MAUI_BOOT_FILE
endif
# drivers/sound/Makefile:
ifeq ($(HAVE_MAUI_BOOT),y)
maui_boot.h: $(MAUI_BOOT_FILE) bin2hex
bin2hex < $< > $@
endif
The 'string' command is already implemented for config, oldconfig, and
xconfig. Menuconfig takes a few more lines.
In fact, I spent this morning coding this all up, and it works on my
system. I'll have a patch ready for testing in a day or two.
