Xconfig

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

xconfig is short for the 'xconfig' target for the Linux kernel Makefile. It is a graphical kernel compilation utility, which uses Qt. You'll need the qt-devel package for it to work, and not all older kernels have a Makefile target for it. The xconfig utility is invoked by running 'make xconfig' as root in the base kernel source directory.

Qt has only been used in the 2.6 line of kernels, the 2.4 line uses a Tcl/Tk configuration interface. A GTK+ interface is also available for the 2.6 kernels.
