Previously there was a change to the ncurses compile to make it more like the typical way it was compiled on a host system. This fixed a whole class of host machines, but masked the real underlying problem with the display corruption issues and menuconfig. The corner case that led to the discovery that the wrong curses.h file was getting used was when there was no curses libraries at all on one of the development hosts. What had happened before was that /usr/include/curses.h on the host system had to match closely enough to the curses.h in the sysroot and then linking against the sysroot version of curses.so was ok (meaning no display corruption). But on some systems with ncurses.h vs curses.h such as SuSE hosts, there were still issues. If we fix the root of the problem and force the mconf and lxdialog to use the correct headers and libraries from the sysroot there is no further issues and the menuconfig target works properly. It also means we can back out the custom compilation flags to the ncurses recipe because they are no longer needed. For the kernel part of the menuconfig / nconfig changes it will be merged separately and this is all based on: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/3/103 (From OE-Core rev: 889e02659dd396feba24f0b0ee6b4043c3f3735a) Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Roy Li <rongqing.li@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
Poky
====
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a
reference manual which can be found at:
http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions
of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with
DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website:
http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
=====================
As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components
should be sent to their respective upstreams.
bitbake:
bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
meta-yocto:
poky@yoctoproject.org
Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If
in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify.
Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git
repository.
openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix
of oe-core and poky-specific files.
