On my Linux machine when i run
uname -v
it gives me
#83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 11:12:07 UTC 2012
Now i am building my custom kernel and i need to show some flag/text info about build in this string ..
i want something like
if some config are on then add BUILD-XYZ in that string
#83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 11:12:07 UTC 2012 BUILD-XYZ
if not then add BUILD-ABC in that.
#83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 11:12:07 UTC 2012 BUILD-ABC
The variable CONFIG_LOCALVERSION (inside your kernel .config file) let you set a custom string that will be appended to the kernel release number, thus shown when using ‘uname’.
Is that what you want?
