menuconfig: no colors in 2.6.12-rc2 ?

[Frédéric L. W. Meunier]

2.6.15's menuconfig has colors, but 2.6.12-rc2 doesn't have. At 
least here...

ncursesw is now first choice.
What does following command print:

gcc -print-file-name=libncursesw.so

If it prints just libncursesw.so then this is not the issue.
But if it prints a full path similar to:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../lib64/libncursesw.so
then this may be the case.

Try to rename ncursesw to ncurses in
scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/check-dialog.sh
to test if ncursesw is the culprint.

Thanks,

Yes, that worked. Is it a bug in ncursesw ? I'm using a recent one.

Yes, I assume so. Eithet that or something local on your setup.
I have reports from others where use of ncursesw gives them nice looking
ASCII symbols in text mode and colours.
I do not have ncursesw myself so no possibility to test.
