1 # Options specific to crosstool-NG overall behavior

7 prompt "Use obsolete features"
10 If you set this to Y, you will be able to select obsolete features.
12 Such obsolete features are the use of old kernel headers, old gcc
13 versions, etc... for which maintaining support in crosstool-NG
16 It does not however mean that the specific feature or version has been
17 marked obsolete by the upstream team.
21 prompt "Try features marked as EXPERIMENTAL"
24 If you set this to Y, then you will be able to try very experimental
27 Experimental features can be one of:
28 - working, in which case you should tell me it is!
29 - buggy, in which case you could try patching and send me the result
30 - unfinished, in which case you could try hacking it and send me the result
31 - non-existant, in which case you could also try hacking it in and send me
36 prompt "Debug crosstool-NG"
40 Say 'y' here to get some options regarding debugging crosstool-NG.
44 config DEBUG_PAUSE_STEPS
46 prompt "Pause between every steps"
49 Say 'y' if you intend to attend the build, and want to investigate
50 the result of each steps before running the next one.
52 config DEBUG_CT_SAVE_STEPS
54 prompt "Save intermediate steps"
57 If you say 'y' here, then you will be able to restart crosstool-NG at
60 It is not currently possible to restart at any of the debug facilities.
61 They are treated as a whole.
63 See docs/overview.txt for the list of steps.
65 config DEBUG_CT_SAVE_STEPS_GZIP
67 prompt "gzip saved states"
69 depends on DEBUG_CT_SAVE_STEPS
71 If you are tight on space, then you can ask to gzip the saved states
72 tarballs. On the other hand, this takes some longer time...
74 To lose as less time as possible, the gzip process is done with a low
75 compression ratio (-3), which gives roughly 70% gain in size. Going
76 further doesn't gain much, and takes far more time (believe me, I've
77 got figures here! :-) ).
79 config NO_OVERIDE_LC_MESSAGES
81 prompt "Do *not* overide LC_MESSAGES (EXPERIMENTAL)"
82 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
85 By default, crosstool-NG sets and exports LC_ALL=C so that the
86 build.log file contains english messages, that can be read by
87 people most likely to help interpret the logs. If you say N here,
88 and your locale is not an english language, then dissecting your
89 log file will be difficult for most people but you.
91 If you say Y here, then your current locale settings will be used
92 to print messages, instead of plain english.
