Interesting. The purpose of the commit was to actually fix that exact use case since previously the mainline kernel menuconfig was relying on hardcoded paths to the host ncurses libraries. Would you be able to provide the error messages you are getting (and anything else that can help to reproduce the failure), because I am not able to reproduce any failures with a mainline kernel, linux-yocto (with and without the below mention patch) or with other projects that are using cml1 (e.g. u-boot). > > It only works with the linux-yocto kernel due to this workaround which is not > upstream. > If you revert this commit in linux-yocto menuconfig will not work in > linux-yocto: > "menuconfig,mconf-cfg: Allow specification of ncurses location" > https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/linux-yocto/commit/scripts/kconfig/mconf-cfg.sh?h=v5.8/standard/base&id=1714a5ad9cf61f4d0f4b8432f327cca2998aba77 This change should not be required to have menuconfig working when pkg-config is used. > > > Seems like your commit needs to be reverted or a change made to work with the > upstream kernel. > Or, the linux-yocto change needs to actually be upstreamed.

This makes supporting menuconfig using that change for kconfig generically problematic. This is why the pkg-config solution is preferable. Regards, Nathan
