Description Thomas Petazzoni 2009-07-29 15:00:39 UTC

make busybox-menuconfig crashes when used with the out-of-tree option O=:

#
# using defaults found in .config
#

interrupted(11)
make[3]: *** [menuconfig] Error 1
make[2]: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/thomas/local/buildroot-basic/project_build_arm/uclibc/busybox-1.14.2'
make[1]: *** [busybox-menuconfig] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/thomas/local/buildroot'

Interestingly, manually doing

make __TARGET_ARCH=arm -C /path/to/the/build/directory/project_build_arm/uclibc/busybox-1.14.2 menuconfig

works nicely. So it's the fact that it's been run by the Buildroot infrastructure that makes it crash.

Strange - It works here (both with a clean tree and after a full build).
The only issue I remember about O= was fixed long ago with 94b3420da9c94c3044f, where packages that also support O= (linux, busybox, ..) got confused as it got forwarded.

Thomas, are you still seeing this issue?

For some reason, works now with Busybox 1.15.0. Either I was crazy when I encountered the issue, or something fixed it. Who knows.
