[Devil-linux-develop] Question about config changes with make build

[William G. <dl-...@gm...>]

At last, I finally have a build of the CVS working on Fedora.  While I don't know what I did wrong before, it works now.

But, now I have a new problem.  I just completed a build using the defaul config file.  In order to test making incremental changes and compiling.  I ran make menuconfig and added selected the binutils.  When I run make build, within a few seconds, the build is finished; but, binutils is not compiled.  The time stamp on .config is newer than it was before.  So I am guessing that I am missing some step (read trick :) ).  

Any advice will be appreciated.

Cheers,

William

The build system marked all the files as being "done".  Do a
ls tmp/.done*
then you see the flag files.

You can recompile a specific program with
scripts/build.sh build opt=<scriptname>
i.e.
scripts/build.sh build opt=binutils
