Description Paul Tomov 2017-07-12 16:52:43 UTC

Hi,

When running:

make raspberrypi3_defconfig

no .config file was produces in /buildroot folder 
despite the message. Please see the screenshot and
advise me how to solve this problem. Did something 
change in where Buildroot produces this .config file.

According to your answer to my previous ticket10011,

in order to enable "SUDO" command in the image, I have to
add BR2_PACKAGE_SUDO=y into this .config file.

Thanks,

   Pavel

First of all, please *stop* filing bugs for things that are not bugs but user issues.

A .config file was definitely produced, I believe you haven't looked properly.

Also, please don't attach screenshots, but copy/paste the text.

Not, the .config file should not be edited manually. You should run "make menuconfig" and adjust the configuration.

Please read the Buildroot manual and training slides.

Also, your next bug reports that are not bugs but user issues will be immediately closed as INVALID, without any explanation.
