Hi, working on the above tute.
Using the standard ubuntu configuration from here
When I get up to step 2.2 “make -j8 kernelconfig” The system goes straight to the make process as if I had typed “make -j8” I was expecting the system to show me a menuconfig screen, however it isn’t. Any ideas?
***Edit
My mistake, I think kernelconfig is running but menu not displaying as I am running it through ssh on an ubuntu server.
Solved
Try removing the ‘-j8’?
Hi @tomw,
If you are trying to change the kernel config then please try:
make menuconfig
I hope this works for you.
Thanks for the responses guys.
I am now using a VNC service to work directly on the ubuntu terminal (ssh before) and ran both without -j8 and tried menuconfig.
These are the last lines of the kernelconfig process finishing:

any ideas?
Try sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev before building again.
ok great, will do. And what does that package do? I have googled it but not found much.
Cheers

ncurses (new curses) is a programming library providing an application programming interface (API) that allows the programmer to write text-based user interfaces in a terminal-independent manner. It is a toolkit for developing “GUI-like” application software that runs under a terminal emulator.

You’re welcome. Nothing really. Just googled it like you did.
