Yocto 1.8 menuconfig does not show up

Yocto 1.8 menuconfig does not show up

Hello Wandboard Community,

My setup:
HW: Wandboard Quad + HDMI Touchscreen

SW: Yocto 1.8 https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform -b master -> build on VirtualBox Ububuntu 15.04



I can build a core-image-x11 on Ubuntu and run it on my hardware. That is good!



Now I want to activate USB touchscreen support in the kernel. BUT: bitbake linux-wandboard -c menuconfig leads to nothing :  no menuconfig menu does show up.

I can start menuconfig direct in ~/fsl-community-bsp/build/tmp/work/wandboard_quad-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-wandboard/3.10.53-r0/git with "make menuconfig" but it has all default values in.

Has somebody experienced the same? And can help me?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / with best regards

When you say nothing, what do you mean? No error, no warning, no log at all?

I remember a long time ago I faced a similar problem and it was due to
remote server. It was caused somehow by ncurses. There was a variable
used to configure which program to use on remote server to display the
menuconfig window. But I don't remember more than that, sorry.

Hello Daiane,

thank you for you answer! 

to your question: When you say nothing, what do you mean? No error, no warning, no log at all?

Yes there is nothing. I start the command and the terminal does not come back and nothing does happen.


I can start menuconfig  with "make menuconfig"  in the kernel code folder. But it is not configured .

Do you suggest to use stable yocto fido 1.8?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / with best regards

Try installing ncurses-dev to your build host (not normally
installed in Ubuntu 15.04)
