Hi David,
I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a misunderstanding.
When you build the kernel the config file gets saved in rootfs/boot as
linux.config. This is not expected to be used for builds though, it's
there for a record of how the the kernel was configured.
The kernel sources are not saved into rootfs. If you select 'keep
sources', this tells ltib not to remove the rpm sources for the kernel
in rpm/BUILD/linux. This directory will also (normally) contain your
kernel .config file after the kernel has been built.
If this does not answer your question, please can you frame it as a
clear test-case/example.
Regards, Stuart

Hi All,
I have just managed to complete building a new kernel module -
usbvision as it happens - and the final issue I had to fix involved
copying ltib/rpm/BUILD/linux/.config to ltib/rootfs/usr/src/linux.
Everything else from the rpm folder had been copied by ltib but not
the .config file. Is this how ltib is supposed to work or is it an
omission? If an ltib bug, where should I look to do a proper fix? If
my problem, how should I fix it so I do not have to manually check
for this every time "keep sources" changes?
Note: .config is included by ltib/rootfs/usr/src/linux/scripts/
Makefile.modpost:38; its absence causes a "no rule to make .config"
error and scbuild terminates.
Thanks all.
ltib rocks!
