That was my issue with your build, but I wasn't sure if that was going to prevent the build from you companies requirements. I would recommend only making the build 64 bit as it seems that there is no reason for backwards compatibility with older 32 bit libraries for your build. Regards Nick

Would this be classified as a BitBake bug then? I actually have a recipe which requires 32-bit libs - I'll see if there's a way around it. Thanks for your help thus far. Nick On Wed, Nov 12, 2014 at 1:18 AM, nick xerofo...@gmail.com wrote: That was my issue with your build, but I wasn't sure

Check to see if you actuality have it installed on your host system for your package manager. The library for ncurses for compiling the kernel is different based on your distro, check your distro's installer and install the correct ncurses package first. If this is still an issue please reply

Hey Nick, This seems to then be an issue with incorrect paths or build information in your nuc.conf as the most likely culprit. If you can post your machine's conf file I will be glad to see if there are any issues I can spot. Nick On 14-11-09 08:33 PM, Nick D'Ademo wrote: 1) source

Try downloading a stock kernel for kernel.org and extract it in your home directory and run make menuconfig in the root of the kernel source tree, if this works then I am assuming either ncurses or your machine conf is wrong somewhere. Cheers Nick On 14-11-09 09:51 PM, Nick D'Ademo wrote: Hi
