It's just that I wanted to do it incrementally, as I am not totally fluent with the autotools peculiarities. I only very recently started using them, and doing things properly is not very easy. Especially for the kconfig stuff, because it does weird things. For example the parser #include-s the lexer, rather than compiling the two into different .o files, so it's not possible to use the standard automake rules for the lexer, or there are issues at link time. Also, because ct-ng is based on (shell and Makefile) scripts, it does not fit well into the automake framework (although there is provision for handling scripts in automake, it's not that straightforward). Thanks for the tip, though! BTW, if you want to see what I've been playing on wrt the autotools, you can have a look at ( note: this is WIP! ;-) ): http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/hg/kconfig-frontends/ Regards, Yann E.
