'make menuconfig' results which cause bug

I just tried to build with RPC disabled, and got the following error.  I'm not sure why it was trying to build netkit-base - perhaps because I was building netkit-telnet.  It should certainly be possible to build a telnet client, and probably possible to build a telnet server, without RPC.  My .config is attached.

Comment 1 Bernhard Reutner-Fischer 2009-09-18 22:38:12 UTC
I'd suggest you use busybox' telnet client.
Comment 2 Peter Korsgaard 2009-09-19 07:50:00 UTC
Thanks. There was a missing kconfig dependency on netkitbase - Fixed in git (f5239c327e3). I agree with Bernhard though, unless you have very specific reasons to use netkittelnet I would very much suggest you use the busybox telnet(d) applets instead.
Comment 3 Seth LaForge 2009-09-19 15:37:17 UTC
Perhaps the netkit-telnet help should mention that recommendation, then?  I didn't realize that busybox had a telnetd implementation, so thanks for mentioning it!
