I'm going to set up a new machine (my own new machine for development) ... as I like to separate development from desktop and test environments, I do want to have only a small host system with a minimal set of utilities, moving all other stuff to qemu virtual sessions ... so I tried to do a couple of small changes to the selection of applets in my current busybox 1.17.2 installation ... and bang I got stuck in the menu as described above :-(
I'm currently going to prepare the machine for further investigation, but have to fix several other issues with this new installation first. My first first assumption: As the menuconfig worked with the same busybox tree before (out of the box, without any problems), it has to depend on any other thing I changed ... and that is: gcc ... I upgraded from gcc-4.4.4 to gcc-4.5.2 ... and may be there was an update of ncurses and glibc too. So the problem does probably not origin in busybox ... I'm willing and going to track that down and I'm open to any suggestions for that investigation ... if I can fix the other issues as expected, I'm ready to move to that phenomena tomorrow or the day after. -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
