Please find below the system I am using:

The version of build root:

2016.02, Released March 1st, 2016

I cleaned buildroot. Anyway, I am starting from a clean clone from github:

rm -rf /home/jedi/buildroot/output/target /home/jedi/buildroot/output/images

My problem:
I go to Toolchain -> Enable WCHAR support
I check that Toolchain -> Enable MMU Support is selected
I go to Target packages -> Text editors and viewers. I press `z` to see hidden
package.

I have:
- - vim
- -   install runtime
*** vim needs a toolchain w/ wchar ***

My .config attached.

--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> ---
vim is by default hidden behind the option BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS,
because there is already a minimal implementation of vi in Busybox. So you
should enable BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS and then you will be able to
enable vim.

--- Comment #2 from L <skywal_l@hotmail.com> ---
Indeed, in Target Packages menu, select: "Show packages that are also provided
by Busybox", and vim is selectable.

The error message is quite confusing.
