comment "Build behavior"
config PARALLEL_JOBS
int
prompt "Number of parallel jobs"
default 1
help
Number of jobs make will be allowed to run concurently.
Set this higher than the number of processors you have, but not too high.
A good rule of thumb is twice the number of processors you have.
Enter 1 (or 0) to have only one job at a time.
config LOAD
int
prompt "Maximum allowed load"
default 0
help
Specifies that no new jobs should be started if there are others jobs
running and the load average is at least this value.
Makes sense on SMP machines only.
Enter 0 to have no limit on the load average.
Note: only the integer part of the load is allowed here (you can't enter
0.75 for example).
config NICE
int
prompt "Nice level"
default 0
range 0 19
help
Renices the build process up.
config USE_PIPES
bool
prompt "Use -pipe"
default y
help
Use gcc's option -pipe to use pipes rather than temp files when building
the toolchain.
choice
bool
prompt "Shell to use as CONFIG_SHELL"
default CONFIG_SHELL_BASH
config CONFIG_SHELL_SH
bool
prompt "sh (the system shell)"
help
Use 'sh' as CONFIG_SHELL.
./configure scripts and Makefiles make intensive use of calling
sub-shells. This is usually done by calling /bin/sh. /bin/sh ought
to be an at-least-POSIX-conformant shell (that is, able to interpret
POSIX shell scripts).
On many (most?) systems, /bin/sh is a symlink to bash. On some other
systems (eg. Ubuntu, latest Debian), /bin/sh points to dash (or ash).
bash is a full-featured shell, with many extension to POSIX, but is
quite slow (see ection BUGS in the bash man page), while dash is
faster, with very few extensions to POSIX. On the other hand, some
./configure scripts, although written to use /bin/sh, may really
require to be run by bash.
The default is to use bash, as some components (eg. GMP) will fail
to build with anything else than bash.
config CONFIG_SHELL_ASH
bool
prompt "ash (READ HELP!)"
help
Use 'ash' as CONFIG_SHELL.
See help for CONFIG_SHELL_SH, above, for more explanations.
NOTE: It is advised that you do NOT use ash as CONFIG_SHELL, as some
components are broken. If you decide to use ash, and the build breaks,
don't come moaning and set the CONFIG_SHELL to bash, below.
config CONFIG_SHELL_BASH
bool
prompt "bash"
help
Use 'bash' as CONFIG_SHELL.
See help for CONFIG_SHELL_SH, above, for more explanations.
config CONFIG_SHELL_CUSTOM
bool
prompt "custom shell"
help
Enter full path to the custom shell below.
See help for CONFIG_SHELL_SH, above, for more explanations.
config CONFIG_SHELL_CUSTOM_PATH
string
prompt "Path to custom shell"
depends on CONFIG_SHELL_CUSTOM
default "/bin/sh"

config CONFIG_SHELL
