Description Matthias Brugger 2010-07-20 07:09:17 UTC 
when you build a defconfig with make something_defconfig and afterwards want to edit the linux kernel configuration (make linux26-menuconfig), then buildroot can't chdir in the output/build directory, because it is not  yet created.
some output (sorry error message is in german):

bzcat /home/ich/buildroot-2010.02/dl/linux-2.6.32.9.tar.bz2 | tar -C /home/ich/buildroot-2010.02/output/build  -xf -
tar: /home/ich/buildroot-2010.02/output/build: Kann chdir nicht ausführen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

when you create the output/build folder by your own, it works.

I believe this was fixed by c9ff3273eb94:

    linux: linux26-{menu,x,g}config needs host-sed
    
    Similar to how it's done for uclibc-menuconfig.
