Message-ID: <45D1823F.1040204@in-2-technology.co.uk> Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2007 09:17:51 +0000 From: Dominic Newton <dominic.newton@...2-technology.co.uk> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Small problem with kernel 2.6.20 and make menuconfig Just a small issue with the latest kernel 2.6.20. When compiling make menuconfig our ncurses library is not being detected. I currently use 2.6.15 with no problem and comparing the 2 I found a script ( scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/check-lxdialog.sh ) in the lxdialog directory that checks for the ncurses lib and sets compiler flags. For some reason it will not find the ncurses library and thus menuconfig will not compile and run. I have ncurses installed (and symlinked) in the usual locations (/lib, /usr/lib, /usr/include). I tried compiling the stock kernel in various locations ( /, /usr /usr/src ) - same problem every time. I fixed the problem by editing the scripts/kconfig/Makefile line 88-89 to ignore the script and set HOST_EXTRACFLAGS = -DCURSES_LOC="<ncurses.h>" and HOST_LOADLIBES = -lncurses. menuconfig runs perfectly now ! I'm hopeless at scripts which is why I gave up trying to get check-lxdialog.sh to work properly - sorry...
