Summary

0001568: "make BOARD=xyz menuconfig" / oldconfig etc does not work

Description

buildroot allows you to do "make BOARD=xyz world" to compile using the configuration file in local/xyz/xyz.config, but you can't call menuconfig, oldconfig etc in this way.

The problem is that the name of the configuration file isn't being passed to the kconfig tool (package/config/conf). kconfig uses $BUILDROOT_CONFIG, so all that is needed is to set that environment variable.

Patch attached fixes this so that "make BOARD=xyz oldconfig" works.

Notes
(0002885) hmoffatt 11-01-07 18:02	"make BOARD=xyz world" also fails due to a few more hard-coded references to .config. br2-board-config2.diff fixes those.

(0002977) UlfSamuelsson 11-27-07 13:28	Once you have a ".config" file, you can store your board configuration by: $ make saveconfig This will store the .config for buildroot, linux, uclibc and busybox. If the project name is "xyz", then they will be stored in the "local/xyz" You can retrieve your configuration by: $ make BOARD=xyz getconfig It is wrong to make the things depend on BUILDROOT_CONFIG. They should depend on ".config"
