Hi,

I am using a Yocto-Poky-Mickledore (version 4.2.1) based system.

For configuring the kernel, I would like to use the command

    bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel

If I do that, Bitbake opens an xterm window and runs the build steps
for Kconfig. However, after the compiler has finised, the xterm window
immediately closes and Bitbake exists as if nothing happened, i.e. it
does not show any error message or similar.

I investigated the problem and found out that, internally, Bitbake
calls the following command for starting Kconfig:

    make menuconfig CC="ccache x86_64-system-linux-gcc ..." \
        CFLAGS="..." HOSTCC="ccache gcc" HOSTCCFLAGS="..."

The quotes, however, seem to get lost when starting the actual command
in the terminal. This leads to a command line like follows:

    make menuconfig CC=ccache x86_64-system-linux-gcc ... \
        CFLAGS=... HOSTCC="ccache gcc" HOSTCCFLAGS="...

which is clearly wrong.

The following patch fixes the problem in meta/classes-recipe/cml1.bbclass:

-    oe_terminal("sh -c \"make %s; if [ \\$? -ne 0 ]; then echo 'Command

printf 'Press any key to continue... '; read r; fi\"" % make_cmd,
                 d.getVar('PN') + ' Configuration', d)

What do you think? Is my observed behavior a configuration error of my
setup or does the patch above indeed make sense?

Best regards,
Holger
