Thanks guys. The process looks a bit cumbersome and long, but I will surely try it and get back with my experience on it. By the way, I was playing around with Buildroot and found the make menuconfig option of that very nice. With my earlier experiences on filesystems etc I can say having a configuration like make menuconfig with dynamic selection of dependencies is a win win situation for both the developer and end user. I hope to see this feature in linaro filesystems too :). -- Thanks Amit Mahajan _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
