Re: awk segfault on make menuconfig to build kernel
Well, the conclusion that this ran fine with kernel-source-2.4.18 was wrong.
It gives a similar error but then continues on to the initial ncurses-based
config screen.
The error is:
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/scripts/lxdialog'
/bin/sh scripts/Menuconfig arch/i386/config.in
Using defaults found in .config
Preparing scripts: functions, parsingscripts/Menuconfig: line 1: 1337
Segmentation fault awk "$1"
Awk died with error code 139. Giving up.
....scripts/Menuconfig: ./MCmenu3: line 123: syntax error: unexpected end of
file
.done.
Thanks for any ideas,
Dave De Graff
