Topic: Problem creating new target profile?

The content of this topic has been archived on 10 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I attempted to add some old belkin patches to trunk but the creation of the target profile doesn't appear to be working.

I created belkin.mk in target/linux/ramips/rt305x/profiles but when I do make menuconfig all I see is the default target profile. The new belkin target profile isn't an available option.

I'm pretty confident the source code is fine but somehow it's not being picked up.

I also as a test made a new target profile for another platform (using an existing one as the base, I changed the name of the profile) which also has subtargets like the ralink platform but again when I do make menuconfig the new target profile isn't an available option.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Just after posting here I did svn up on two copies of the source bringing both to revision 26717 and the first copy on completion of the update did:

Collecting package info: done
Collecting target info: done

And the new target profiles are showing up in make menuconfig however the other copy of the source which didn't show the collecting messages still has the problem so it seems obvious I need to be able to manually execute the command which collects target info?

Doing it in this sequence worked fine for me:

svn update
make defconfig
make menuconfig

If you have done it right the menuconfig will show the new target profile.

Come across the same problem and the solution provided by F1aw work for me.

The discussion might have continued from here.
