Hi,
since
commit fe417e8a4d625c6933de72163d2fee52ac47f571
Author: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: Thu May 31 13:22:34 2012 +0000
cmd1.bbclass: Ensure ncurses is built and used for menuconfig tasks
Currently, the task just exits if something goes wrong. This adds the
ncurses-native dependency. It also adds a small delay before closing the
window so any messages displayed there can be seen.
Trying to get the kernel build system to correctly find and link with
our copy of ncurses is some kind of nightmare. I ended up having to add
it to HOST_LOADLIBES globally for this task which is rather nasty but I
couldn't find any other way.
[YOCTO #2513]
Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
my menuconfig is unusable (see screenshot attached). I reverted it and
can work as before.
I am working on Fedora 15 and set in my local.conf
TERMCMD = "${GNOME_TERMCMD}"
TERMCMDRUN = "${GNOME_TERMCMDRUN}"

I can confirm the same look&feel with
TERMCMD = "${SCREEN_TERMCMD}"
TERMCMDRUN = "${SCREEN_TERMCMDRUN}"

FYI
Still have this behaviour and can work around it by commenting out
OE_TERMINAL_EXPORTS += "HOST_EXTRACFLAGS HOSTLDFLAGS HOST_LOADLIBES"
in cml1.bbclass.

I have same issue on fedora 17, make it works for my host with
below temporary tweak:
diff --git meta/classes/cml1.bbclass meta/classes/cml1.bbclass
index bd25311..948cfad 100644
--- meta/classes/cml1.bbclass
+++ meta/classes/cml1.bbclass
@@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ HOSTLDFLAGS = "${BUILD_LDFLAGS}"
HOST_LOADLIBES = "-lncurses"
python do_menuconfig() {
+ d.setVar("HOSTLDFLAGS", "")
oe_terminal("${SHELL} -c \"make menuconfig; echo 'Pausing for
5 seconds'; sleep 5\"", '${PN} Configuration', d)
}
do_menuconfig[depends] += "ncurses-native:do_populate_sysroot"
---
FYI.

Is there a proper fix for this issue if clearing HOSTLDFLAGS isn't the right
one? I'm not quite sure how to reproduce the problem here.
