Thanks Zoran
What you say makes perfect sense.
I also got the feeling that something doesn't match between the new
kernel and yocto.
Maybe I should also upgrade yocto.
Thanks again.

The first line explains it all. You could not configure 4.14, since
for this you should have ncurses package. I would further say, the
YOCTO ncurses version you have, which is used for 4.8 is outdated, so
you need newer (matching) YOCTO version for 4.14.
Why you are able to configure 4.14 outside of yocto? Because you use
another version of ncurses, one which is host native to
Debian 8. YOCTO probably uses some other host based ncurses inside
YOCTO (in Open Embedded/meta layer, my best guess).

Hello
We are using in our layer a kernel 4.8 recipe (linux-stable_4.8.bb
<http://linux-stable_4.8.bb>)- everything ok.
I'm trying to upgrade to 4.14, I created a new recipe
linux-stable_4.14.bb <http://linux-stable_4.14.bb>. They live side
by side, for now.
But with the 4.14 kernel when running `bitbake -c menuconfig
linux-stable`, the new terminal comes up and I get the following
error:
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep

If I rename linux-stable_4.14.bb <http://linux-stable_4.14.bb> to
linux-stable_4.14.bb___, then run bitbake again (now the build
system is working with the 4.8 kernel again) => menuconfig starts
and works as expected.
I'm using krogoth, 2.1.2, Debian 8 (jessie)
I also tried to config the kernel outside of yocto, downloaded
https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.14.4.tar.xz
<https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.14.4.tar.xz>,
extracted and run make menuconfig => works as expected
Any hints are appreciated.
Thanks
