Hi, I am building kernel for MangoH WP8548 board in linux (3.13) host. I have followed the below steps : 1. Downloaded Legato Distribution Source Package i.e, Legato-Dist-Source-mdm9x15-SWI9X15Y\_07.10.04.00.tar.bz2 2. tar -xvjf Legato-Dist-Source-mdm9x15-SWI9X15Y\_07.10.04.00.tar.bz2 3. cd yocto 4. export LEGATO\_BUILD=0 5. make image\_bin 6. . ./poky/oe-init-build-env 7. cd …/build\_bin 8. bitbake linux-yocto -c kernel\_configme -f 9. bitbake linux-yocto -c menuconfig When i do 9th step i.e, menuconfig to configure the kernel, configuration window will come and immediately vanishes. So i’m not able to configure the kernel. menuconfig will work perfectly in my host linux machine by poping a window to set the configurations. Am i done anything wrong? Please help me to get the window popup to configure. Thanks in advance ---

I haven’t seen that issue before. I noticed that you mentioned `Legato-Dist-Source-mdm9x15-SWI9X15Y_07.10.04.00.tar.bz2`. Is there a reason why you’re not using `Legato-Dist-Source-mdm9x15-SWI9X15Y_07.12.09.00.tar.bz2`? ---

No reason to use Legato-Dist-Source-mdm9x15-SWI9X15Y\_07.10.04.00.tar.bz2. We can use newer also. Did any changes made in Legato-Dist-Source-mdm9x15-SWI9X15Y\_07.12.09.00.tar.bz2? regarding menuconfig? ---

I’m not aware of any reason why menuconfig would differ between the releases, but you might as well give the newer release a try and see if that resolves your problem. ---

Are any errors printed at the time that menuconfig exits?
