Subject: menuconfig: fail with clearer error if curses.h N/A
Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2007 23:23:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200710142323.21139.elendil@planet.nl> (raw)
It would be nice if 'make menuconfig' could fail earlier or with a clearer
error if curses.h is not available. The actual error is currently rather
buried in a huge amount of indirect errors.
After installing libncurses-dev (Debian) everything was fine.
$ make menuconfig
