Gargoyle Forum

I downloaded and flashed gargoyle and like it. The problem was that I cannot add a new kernel package because the incompatibility of the kernel (Is there a way to solve this problem?) so I made a custom build. After I loaded the .bin file and verified it worked, I want to add one more kernel function. I went to custom-src directory and did "make menuconfig" to set the packages that I want to use. What should I do next? I did "make custom" again the the gargoyle directory but I found the config file that I set with "make menuconfig" got reset. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think I solved my own problem, but further verification will be appreciated. The problem was, when do "make custom" in the Gargoyle directory again after did make menuconfig in the custom-src directory, the .config generated by menucondig was overwritten. Thus the in order to use the .config file in the custom-src directory, we need to prevent the overwriting. I tried two methods to prevent the overwriting. First one is to make the custom-src/.config read-only. I simply did "chmod 444 .config" in the custom-src directory. When compile, it shows that the file cannot be overwritten but goes on to make the compilation anyway. The second method is comment out the line: 'cp "targets_dir/$target/profiles/$default_profile/config" "top_dir/${target}-src/.config"' (Line 327 or around).
Both methods seemed working. The command "make custom" will simply take the .config file generated by menuconfig to generate the desired image and packages.
I tried both methods and they worked for me. No sure if there will be any side effects or not.

Or after make menuconfig, you just copy the hidden .config file to your new gargoyle/targets/ar71xx/profiles/NEWConfig folder, copy the desired profile_images over & use 'make V=99 ar71xx.NEWConfig'.
