Dear Mike Frysinger,
In message 200907102250.57311.vapier@gentoo.org you wrote:
Yes. It's IMHO silly to have to configure something manually (and keep it in sync with potential changes of some other defines) when it is as well possible to have that same value computed automatically at build time.
so i should convert ENV_IS_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_ENV_IS_EMBEDDED or i should add to common code logic to force CONFIG_ENV_IS_EMBEDDED when ENV_IS_EMBEDDED is defined by the board ?
If it's possible, generating CONFIG_ENV_IS_EMBEDDED when ENV_IS_EMBEDDED is defined would be much better - however, my understanding is that CONFIG_ENV_IS_EMBEDDED is needed by the make proces,,i. e. before actually running any commands, while ENV_IS_EMBEDDED gets computed by the C preprocessor, i. e. too late for make decisions (unless you copy the part of code that computes ENV_IS_EMBEDDED into some special script / file and run it through the C preprocessor - which is not exactly a leaner design either, it seems).
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
