Ok, I see your concern ...
My change was done in the `Makefile' not `Config' file. My suggestion
was to move this to the config file.
So should I describe it to change in the Makefile or do we move
this time (only the setting of the MACRO) to the `Config' file ?
In both ways, a small change would be convinient. If we let it in
the Makefile, we should extract the option to one central point
like this, to easier handle that case:
:
BBS_OPTS = # -DPCI_PNP_HEADER
:
:
bin/prloader.s: loader.S $(MAKEDEPS)
$(CPP) $(LCONFIG) $(BBS_OPTS) -o $@ $<
bin/przloader.s: loader.S $(MAKEDEPS)
$(CPP) $(LCONFIG) $(BBS_OPTS) -DZLOADER -o $@ $<
And the second method is to move the "BBS_OPTS = xxxx" to the
`Config' file.
Or do we change nothing, and the HOTWO really says: delete the DEFINES
on this two lines ... ?
With friendly regards
