[PATCH] kconfig: be more helpful if pkg-config is missing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If ncurses is installed, but at a non-default location, the previous
error message was not helpful in resolving the situation.  Now, if
ncurses can't be found, and pkg-config is not installed, it will
suggest that pkg-config might need to be installed in addition to
ncurses.
