一、问题描述
在编译Linux内核时，使用make menuconfig报错：
scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/dialog.h:38:20: fatal error: curses.h: No such file or director
tdyizhen1314@ubuntu:~/tronlong/AM57X/kernel/linux-4.9.65$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- menuconfig HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/mconf.o In file included from scripts/kconfig/mconf.c:23:0: scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/dialog.h:38:20: fatal error: curses.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. scripts/Makefile.host:124: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/mconf.o' failed make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/mconf.o] Error 1 Makefile:546: recipe for target 'menuconfig' failed make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
二、解决方法
安装工具：sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

安装完成后，即可使用make menuconfig。
