We should add it to the list of dependencies. 82957 1 srifenbark 2019-02-04 20:09:17 +0000 Hi Marc, I need some specifics to nail this down. We have host packages that fall into "Essential", "Graphical and Eclipse Plug-in Extras", "Documentation", and "OpenEmbedded Self-Test". Regarding this fail for menuconfig, I assume it would be an "Essential" package? And, can anyone tell me if the same applies for the other supported distros (i.e. Fedora, OpenSUSE, and CentOS)? Adding some people to the CC list. Thanks, Scott https://yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ubuntu-packages 82958 2 marc.ferland 2019-02-04 20:45:10 +0000 Scott, Yes, I think this falls into the "Essential" category. I got the following package names after a quick google search (not tested): * fedora: ncurses-devel * centos: ncurses-devel * opensuse: ncurses-devel I'm not sure if it is required for the other distros or if one of the specified package already pulls on it. 82959 3 srifenbark 2019-02-04 22:05:46 +0000 Thanks Marc, I will ping Paul Eggleton later today and see if he can tell from code.
