From 8224c19990c4e8098ceac4cbd391603a76252014 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Bushnell Date: Wed, 23 Apr 1997 18:07:36 +0000 Subject: Wed Apr 23 13:21:23 1997 Thomas Bushnell, n/BSG * configure.in (BUILD_CC): Use AC_CHECK_PROGS, not AC_CHECK_PROG, since we are checking multiple names. * configure.in (kdb): New --enable option. * Makefile.in (DEFINES): Add @DEFS@. * Makefile.in (clean, distclean, mostlyclean, maintainter-clean): New targets. (all-archs-configures): New variable. (MIG): Change to ./local-mig. (./local-mig): Change to build this instead of ./mig (check-clib-routines): Use nm -g in case there are local symbols. Suggested by Matthew Wilcox (willy@odie.barnet.ac.uk). Fri Apr 18 15:25:10 1997 Thomas Bushnell, n/BSG * configure.in: Add AC_PREREQ for version 2.12. * i386/Drivers.in: Likewise. --- README | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'README') diff --git a/README b/README index 4fa606f..3333c75 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -30,6 +30,12 @@ generally safe to specify switches for hardware you don't have; in this way you can build kernels that work on different physical machine set ups. +If you want the in-kernel debugger compiled in, specify --enable-kdb +to configure.
