Description Jonas Jonsson 2006-08-07 10:21:20 UTC
Hi..

It would be nice to be allowed to select what modules to compile, sometimes drivers are broken and mess up the compilation.

I don't know where in the ebuild this should be positioned as an ebuild is per default non-interactive.
Comment 2 Jonas Jonsson 2006-08-29 04:00:06 UTC
Yes, but you should be able to somehow select what components you want. I just tried adding menuconfig to the make command in the ebuild, it works, but the most annoying thing is then that you have to select what you want everytime you recompile since we are in a sandbox env. 

Don't know about the USE flags here but couldn't that be a solution. Could be as simple as usb, radio, dvb-t, dvb-c, dvb-s or someting similary.

Or you accept that this ebuild will be interactive, it's not likley a normal user will install this ebuild anyway (Yes, I know this isn't the right way to think).

Hmm.. Just had to accept a Licens for Doom3, and that was interactive... So if it would be added it wouldn't be the first interactive one...

The only usefull thing to implement I can offer is, using a user-supplied .config file for compiling.

Like in make.conf:
V4l_DVB_HG_CONFIG_FILE="...../v4l-hg.config"

I think this is better since I don't have to choose what I want everytime and it won't compile everything.

One idea is to use a savedconfig use flag similar to busybox.

Patches welcome. :)

It's no longer in the tree
