I don't know geek-sources. I'd guess it will have a "hacked" buildsystem |
| 32 |
that takes aleast some of the "autodetection" of the normal buildsystem |
| 33 |
away. You could try to make a diff to see differences (especially the |
| 34 |
Kconfig files). The easiest way will most likely be to contact the |
| 35 |
author of geek-sources and try to find out, if the geek-part may be that |
| 36 |
you have to configure such things manually instead of autoconfig... ;) |
