Google disabled access to /proc/config, which makes the process of building a vaguely compatible kernel all the more like guess-and-check.

Is there really no .config in their GPL release? AFAIK compile-time config is a GPLv2 requirement as part of the "scripts used to control compilation" (Gpl-Violations FAQ specifically mentions Linux .config files.) I'd hope there's either a .config or a defconfig that applies to Glass as-shipped.

(NB: I don't mean to dispute your overall point by this, just wondering.)



I haven't looked but I think you'd find the config file be in their kernel source under arch/arm/configs/.


I cannot find one for the "glass-1" (or, to be clear, for any glass). I've also tried searching around the device hierarchy of git repositories they have, and cannot find anything for glass{,-1} under various vendor names (including "google"). I really just don't think they posted anything.


it's the default config for the notle board, so you want "make notle_defconfig"


(For historical clarity, in the code that was released after these comments were posted.)
