02:24 <slash> Im getting a error after trying to use "make menuconfig" on the kernel even after installing ncurses

02:24 <slash> collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

02:44 <ukky> The main error is this one: collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status, but this line doesn't say why linker has failed. The reason for the failure should be printed earlier.

02:56 <slash> Do you mean this one "scripts/Makefile.host:123: update target 'scripts/kconfig/mconf' due to: target does not exist"

03:01 <ukky> No. The message 'update target ... due to: target does not exist' comes from 'make' itself. But the message 'collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status' is the result of failed linking.

03:02 <ukky> Do 'make clean', and then 'make menuconfig', and you should see some files being compiled

03:13 <slash> I still got the same error, here is the output of "make -d -j1 V=1 menuconfig 2>&1 | tee /tmp/mk.log" https://sprunge.us/Mzg7AZ. Im also not the only one to get this error https://www.reddit.com/r/kisslinux/comments/18eplk9/error_when_make_menuconfig/

03:23 <ukky> This: /usr/bin/ld: scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/util.o: undefined reference to symbol 'cbreak'

03:23 <ukky> And this: /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libtinfow.so.6: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line

03:24 <ukky> Those are the reasons for the failure

03:30 <ilt> install pkgconf

03:46 <slash> @ilt: still didn't work

03:50 <ilt> make clean first and try again

03:57 <slash> it now works thanks

06:04 <sewn> hi
