Re: some problem about make menuconfig

[Tirtha Ghosh <gtirtha@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am guessing your host machine is ubuntu 12.04 (Precise)??

If so, I faced similar problem sometime back and I tried lot of things to resolve the same.

I am not remembering the exact steps or sequences but please do check this:

1. check for build-essential package: sudo apt-get build-essential

2. sometimes in 12.04 apt-get fails with --fix-missing suggestion, so carefully check the same do sudo apt-get update --fix-missing and then apt-get install <package> again.

3. install these packages:

    sudo apt-get install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libelf-dev libncurses5 libncursesw5-dev

Another best way to install any packages in Ubuntu, 

1. visit http://packages.ubuntu.com/ 

2. find required package for required Ubuntu version. 

3. Browse thorough your search result and pick deb packages for i386/amd64 (as per your machine).

Hope this will help you as well.

regards,

    I google for this problem, it says i didn't install the ncurses.
    

i   libncurses5                                                             - shared libraries for terminal handling                                           
i   libncurses5-dbg                                                         - debugging/profiling libraries for ncurses                                        
i   libncurses5-dev                                                         - developer's libraries for ncurses    

    But after I install the lib , it doesn't change.
   
    The script  linux/scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/check-lxdialog.sh contain these messages:
   

ldflags()
{
        for ext in so a dylib ; do
                for lib in ncursesw ncurses curses ; do
                        $cc -print-file-name=lib${lib}.${ext} | grep -q /
                        if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                                echo "-l${lib}"
                                exit
                        fi
                done
        done
        exit 1
}

# Where is ncurses.h?
ccflags()
{
        if [ -f /usr/include/ncurses/ncurses.h ]; then
                echo '-I/usr/include/ncurses -DCURSES_LOC="<ncurses.h>"'
        elif [ -f /usr/include/ncurses/curses.h ]; then
                echo '-I/usr/include/ncurses -DCURSES_LOC="<ncurses/curses.h>"'
        elif [ -f /usr/include/ncurses.h ]; then
                echo '-DCURSES_LOC="<ncurses.h>"'
        else
                echo '-DCURSES_LOC="<curses.h>"'
        fi
}

  libncurses  appear in /usr/lib ,and the head file appear in /usr/include.

kiongf@ubuntu:/usr/lib$ ls | grep curse
libncurses_g.a
libncurses++_g.a
libncurses.so.5.7
libncurses++w_g.a
libncursesw_g.a

kiongf@ubuntu:/usr/include$ ls | grep ncurse
ncurses_dll.h
ncurses.h
ncursesw

    I have trapped in this problem for several days, please help me if you have any good ideas.
 
    Thanks.
