This breaks the build: crypto/Kconfig:150:error: recursive dependency detected! crypto/Kconfig:150: symbol CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS depends on CRYPTO_MANAGER crypto/Kconfig:119: symbol CRYPTO_MANAGER is selected by CRYPTO_TEST crypto/Kconfig:206: symbol CRYPTO_TEST depends on CRYPTO_MANAGER_EXTRA_TESTS For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" Cheers, -- Email: Herbert Xu <[email protected]> Home Page: http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/ PGP Key: http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/pubkey.txt
