If I can offer one additional step then at the end also do a make |
19 |
menuconfig even if you don't intend to change anything. The additional |
20 |
menuconfig runs checks on the combination of options selected and not |
21 |
selected and in some cases will pop up some messages about |
22 |
incorrect/inconsistent settings. No messages means it's OK to do the |
23 |
build, but if you get messages then it's best to take care of them |
24 |
before building. |
