RE: [microblaze-uclinux] tried to locally thin out uclinux_dist s ource-tree

[Brettschneider Falk <fbrettschneider@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
...meanwhile I solved my problem by myself.
I patched kernel-2.4.x/scripts/Menuconfig a little bit, and also the
fastdep-rule in kernel-2.4.x/Rules.make.
Anyway, 'make distclean;make menuconfig;make dep clean all;' works without
problems and the kernel starts&works.
Possible disadvantage:
- if the subdir doesn't exist (e.g. in uclinux_dist/user), it isn't compiled
into the
  kernel although it may have been selected in the menu. It is just missed
in romfs/bin then.
Advantage:
- now I can remove all subdirs of uclinux_dist for which I
  don't care and which I don't select in the config menus
  (the size of my copy of uclinux_dist + kernel reduced from 1GB to 60MB
here)

Cheers
F@lk
