# Options specific to crosstool-NG overall behavior comment "crosstool-NG behavior" config OBSOLETE bool prompt "Use obsolete features" help If you set this to Y, you will be able to select obsolete features. Such obsolete features are the use of old kernel headers, old gcc versions, etc... for which maintaining support in crosstool-NG would be very costly. It does not however mean that the specific feature or version has been marked obsolete by the upstream team. config EXPERIMENTAL bool prompt "Try features marked as EXPERIMENTAL" help If you set this to Y, then you will be able to try very experimental features. Experimental features can be one of: - working, in which case you should tell me it is! - buggy, in which case you could try patching and send me the result - unfinished, in which case you could try hacking it and send me the result - non-existant, in which case you could also try hacking it in and send me the result config DEBUG_CT bool prompt "Debug crosstool-NG" depends on ! BACKEND help Say 'y' here to get some options regarding debugging crosstool-NG. if DEBUG_CT config DEBUG_PAUSE_STEPS bool prompt "Pause between every steps" help Say 'y' if you intend to attend the build, and want to investigate the result of each steps before running the next one. config DEBUG_CT_SAVE_STEPS bool prompt "Save intermediate steps" help If you say 'y' here, then you will be able to restart crosstool-NG at any step. It is not currently possible to restart at any of the debug facilities. They are treated as a whole. To get the full list os steps, run: ct-ng list-steps config DEBUG_CT_SAVE_STEPS_GZIP bool prompt "gzip saved states" default y depends on DEBUG_CT_SAVE_STEPS help If you are tight on space, then you can ask to gzip the saved states tarballs. On the other hand, this takes some longer time... To lose as less time as possible, the gzip process is done with a low compression ratio (-3), which gives roughly 70% gain in size. Going further doesn't gain much, and takes far more time (believe me, I've got figures here! :-) ). config NO_OVERIDE_LC_MESSAGES bool prompt "Do *not* overide LC_MESSAGES (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on EXPERIMENTAL help By default, crosstool-NG sets and exports LC_ALL=C so that the build.log file contains english messages, that can be read by people most likely to help interpret the logs. If you say N here, and your locale is not an english language, then dissecting your log file will be difficult for most people but you. If you say Y here, then your current locale settings will be used to print messages, instead of plain english. Say N, please. endif
