Miele-LXIV Easy uses a Kconfig-based configuration system to control which components are downloaded, built, and installed. The configuration is managed through the kconfig-mconf tool, which provides an interactive menu interface.

​
Configuration Workflow

The configuration system is accessed through: 
./reconfigure.sh
This launches an interactive menu where you can enable or disable different build phases and select which modules to process.

​
Configuration Sections

The build system is organized into six main configuration sections:
  1. Download - Download source packages and apply patches
  2. Info - Display version information for modules
  3. Configure - Run configuration scripts for each module
  4. Build - Compile and install modules
  5. Install - Install specific modules with post-processing
  6. Symlinks - Manage symbolic links in the Binaries directory

Configuration Tips

Typical Workflow: Enable options in sequence:
  1. First run: Enable Download only
  2. Second run: Enable Configure, Build, and Install
  3. Final run: Enable Create Symbolic links
Changing configuration options may require rebuilding modules. The build script detects existing directories and skips downloads/builds if already present.
