 |
|
I had a package fail to compile on me because a kernel flag wasn't set. Is there a way to trace a config option in the kernel config to a particular place in the menuconfig (make menuconfig)? Before setting flags I like the read what a flag does  , and I like to navigate around using the menuconfig and the '?' option.
How can I trace CONFIG_FOO to a menu option?

"/" + the option should show you all matches, and where they exist in the configuration hierarchy, e.g.
| Code: | /pl2303
Symbol: USB_SERIAL_PL2303 [=m]
│ Prompt: USB Prolific 2303 Single Port Serial Driver
│ Defined at drivers/usb/serial/Kconfig:457
│ Depends on: USB_SUPPORT [=y] && USB_SERIAL [=m]
│ Location:
│ -> Device Drivers
│ -> USB support (USB_SUPPORT [=y])
│ -> USB Serial Converter support (USB_SERIAL [=m])
