- Subject: Cygwin make menuconfig hangs
Hello,
Currently I can build the linux kernel 2.6.17 under Cygwin without issue
with a stock .config file from my development board supplier (ARM9,
AT91RM9200). However, I can not get make menuconfig to work.
I'm using 'make ARCH=arm KBUILD_HAVE_NLS=no menuconfig'. Originally
this was failing all over the place during the linker looking for
ncurses. After many attempts at various things (compiled ncurses-5.5
with library option, etc) trying to get a .so file, I come to kind of
realize that a .so and a dll may be the same thing. So I 'ln -s
libncurses.dll.a libncurses.so' and menu config compiles. So I get past
the linker.
How it just sits there stalled, looking at me, doing nothing:
$ make ARCH=arm KBUILD_HAVE_NLS=no menuconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
HOSTCC scripts/basic/split-include
HOSTCC scripts/basic/docproc
HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/mconf
HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/lxdialog
Info: resolving _COLS by linking to __imp__COLS (auto-import)
Info: resolving _LINES by linking to __imp__LINES (auto-import)
Info: resolving _stdscr by linking to __imp__stdscr (auto-import)
scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/arm/Kconfig
<hung>
It does this with or without the .config file in place.
A ps tells me 2 copies of make, mconf, and lxdialog are running in the
background.
I'm not sure if the linking thing is right or something else I'm
missing.
Please help!
Gabriel
