Kernel Configuration Comparison

Kernel Configuration Comparison (kccmp) is a tool that provides a GUI for comparing two Linux kernel ".config" files.

It shows configuration variables with different values in a tabular format. It also shows configuration variables found in only one of the input configuration files.

Building:

kccmp by default requires Qt 3.x. However, by changing one line in kccmp.pro you can build against Qt 4.x. Note that the Qt 4.x build requilres libboost_regex as well.

The standard build is as easy as:

example:
% qmake
% make

Usage

% kccmp /path/to/first/.config path/to/second/.config

example:
% kccmp /usr/src/linux/.config /usr/src/linux/.config.old
