kconfig: mconf: fix HOSTCC call

2021-01-26T18:17:42Z

Commit c0f975af1745 ("kconfig: Support building mconf with vendor sysroot ncurses") introduces a bug when HOSTCC contains parameters: the whole command line is treated as the program name (with spaces in it). Therefore, we have to remove the quotes.

kconfig: Support building mconf with vendor sysroot ncurses

2021-01-04T01:38:11Z

Changes the final fallback path in the ncurses locator for mconf to support host compilers with a non-default sysroot. This is similar to the hardcoded search for ncurses under '/usr/include', but can support compilers that keep their default header and library directories elsewhere. For nconfig, do nothing because the only vendor compiler I'm aware of with this layout (Apple Clang) ships an ncurses version that's too old for nconfig anyway.

kconfig: be more helpful if pkg-config is missing

2019-11-11T11:10:01Z

If ncurses is installed, but at a non-default location, the previous error message was not helpful in resolving the situation. Now it will suggest that pkg-config might need to be installed in addition to ncurses. Signed-off-by: Alyssa Ross Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kconfig: do not require pkg-config on make {menu,n}config

2018-09-02T17:13:48Z

Meelis Roos reported a {menu,n}config regression: "I have libncurses devel package installed in the default system location (as do 99%+ on actual developers probably) and in this case, pkg-config is useless. pkg-config is needed only when libraries and headers are installed in non-default locations but it is bad to require installation of pkg-config on all the machines where make menuconfig would be possibly run." For {menu,n}config, do not use pkg-config if it is not installed. For {g,x}config, keep checking pkg-config since we really rely on it for finding the installation paths of the required packages.

kconfig: refactor ncurses package checks for building mconf and nconf

2018-05-28T09:25:21Z

The mconf (or its infrastructure, lxdiaglog) depends on the ncurses. Move and rename check-lxdialog.sh to mconf-cfg.sh to make it work in the same way as for qconf and gconf. This commit fixes some more weirdnesses. The nconf also needs ncurses packages. HOSTLOADLIBES_nconf is set to the libraries needed for nconf, but the cflags is not explicitly set. Actually, nconf relies on the check-lxdialog.sh for the proper cflags: HOST_EXTRACFLAGS += $(shell $(CONFIG_SHELL) $(check-lxdialog) -ccflags) \ -DLOCALE The code above passes the ncurses flags to all objects, even for conf, qconf, gconf. Let's pass the ncurses flags only to mconf and nconf. Currently, the presence of ncurses is not checked for nconf. Let's show a prompt like the mconf case. According to Randy's report, the shell scripts still need to carry the fallback code in case the pkg-config fails to find the ncurses packages.
