Make xconfig has been broken for some time now, is anyone still maintaining it? I contacted the listed maintainer, Michael Elizabeth Chastain, who said that she is no longer maintaining it.

Make xconfig is pretty important, it's hard to imagine that it's going to be allowed to rot.

Here is the compile error for 2.4.21-rc1,

/home/tmp/linux-2.4.20> make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tmp/linux-2.4.20/scripts' cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk
./tkparse < ../arch/i386/config.in >> kconfig.tk drivers/ide/Config.in: 46: can't handle dep_bool/dep_mbool/dep_tristate condition
make[1]: *** [kconfig.tk] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tmp/linux-2.4.20/scripts'
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2

Thanks,

Josh

the config.in is broken, not xconfig..

That's a config file problem, not an xconfig problem. A patch for this has been posted several times.
