[2024-01-09T02:24:09Z] Im getting a error after trying to use "make menuconfig" on the kernel even after installing ncurses [2024-01-09T02:24:18Z] collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status [2024-01-09T02:24:18Z] make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.host:123: scripts/kconfig/mconf] Error 1 [2024-01-09T02:24:18Z] make[1]: *** [/root/linux-6.6.10/Makefile:697: menuconfig] Error 2 [2024-01-09T02:24:19Z] make: *** [Makefile:234: __sub-make] Error 2 [2024-01-09T02:32:00Z] slash: Try analyzing the build log: make -d -j1 V=1 menuconfig 2>&1 | tee /tmp/mk.log [2024-01-09T02:39:44Z] collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status [2024-01-09T02:39:44Z] Reaping losing child 0x7f1af5949350 PID 295504 [2024-01-09T02:39:44Z] make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.host:123: scripts/kconfig/mconf] Error 1 [2024-01-09T02:39:45Z] Removing child 0x7f1af5949350 PID 295504 from chain.

[2024-01-09T02:44:30Z] The main error is this one: collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status, but this line doesn't say why linker has failed. The reason for the failure should be printed earlier. [2024-01-09T02:56:54Z] Do you mean this one "scripts/Makefile.host:123: update target 'scripts/kconfig/mconf' due to: target does not exist" [2024-01-09T03:01:10Z] No. The message 'update target ... due to: target does not exist' comes from 'make' itself. But the message 'collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status' is the result of failed linking. [2024-01-09T03:02:51Z] Do 'make clean', and then 'make menuconfig', and you should see some files being compiled [2024-01-09T03:13:58Z] I still got the same error, here is the output of "make -d -j1 V=1 menuconfig 2>&1 | tee /tmp/mk.log" https://sprunge.us/Mzg7AZ.
