           Summary: make manuconfig problem in opensuse 13.2
           Product: buildroot
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
        ReportedBy: ztutberidze at gmail.com
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
   Estimated Hours: 0.0


when I type make menuconfig I am getting error
 *** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the
 *** required header files.
 *** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.
 *** 
 *** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.
 *** 

even when ncurses with development packages are installed.

The solution is adding -ldl in file /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/ncursesw.pc section
Libs.

after that make menuconfig is working.

That sounds like a bug in the ncursesw.pc file your distribution in using. 
Does menuconfig work for other packages (Linux kernel, busybox, barebox, ..)?

same system

I agree. What distribution are you using? Do you have similar problems with
menuconfig in the Linux kernel or busybox?

Hello Zurab,

I just installed OpenSUSE 13.2 on a virtualbox and I ran Buildroot's menuconfig
successfully:

---------------------------------------------
Last login: Thu Oct  1 12:17:26 2015
Have a lot of fun...
vriera at linux-oy96:~> cat /etc/SuSE-release 
openSUSE 13.2 (x86_64)
VERSION = 13.2
CODENAME = Harlequin
# /etc/SuSE-release is deprecated and will be removed in the future, use
/etc/os-release instead
vriera at linux-oy96:~> cd buildroot/
vriera at linux-oy96:~/buildroot> make menuconfig
configuration written to /home/vriera/buildroot/.config

*** End of the configuration.
*** Execute 'make' to start the build or try 'make help'.

vriera at linux-oy96:~/buildroot> grep Libs /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/ncursesw.pc 
Libs:  -lncursesw -ltinfo
Libs.private: 
vriera at linux-oy96:~/buildroot>
---------------------------------------------

These are the ncurses packages I have installed:

vriera at linux-oy96:~> rpm -qa | grep ncurses
ncurses-utils-5.9-52.2.3.x86_64
ncurses-devel-5.9-52.2.3.x86_64
libyui-ncurses-pkg6-2.46.1-2.1.9.x86_64

libyui-ncurses6-2.46.6-2.1.9.x86_64
libncurses5-5.9-52.2.3.x86_64

Regards,

Vincent.

According to our tests, "make menuconfig" works fine on OpenSuse 13.2 (thanks
Vicente for doing the tests).
