Buildroot's "make nconfig" command stopped working a while ago on Gentoo systems. Running the command would result in a crash. The issue is caused by lxdialog's cflags which are also used to build nconfig; It would detect *ncursesw* and turn on WIDECHAR support -- but the Makefile would still link to plain *ncurses* while building nconfig (which was built without WIDECHAR support). This would cause a crash after using *wattrset* on a WINDOW instance. WIDECHAR *wattrset* would try to set the _color member in the WINDOW struct which does not exist in the NON-WIDECHAR ncurses instance. It would end up clobbering data outside the struct (usually _line entries). An upstream patch fixes the issue, so we're applying it to Buildroot's kconfig. Signed-off-by: Guillermo A.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
