I am using Ubuntu 20.04.

The source code is the latest master branch.

I am trying to delete the old .config file and compile it again.

My target is Linksys WRT1900AC v2.

there is an open bug - https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/3875

a temporary fix - is to update the ncurses makefile changing

PROVIDES:=libncursesw

with

PROVIDES:=libncursesw libncursesw6

In my case it helps:

  make package/ncurses/{clean,prepare} V=s
  make package/ncurses/compile V=s
  make package/readline/{clean,prepare} V=s
  make package/readline/compile V=s
  make -j1 V=s

It seems that after modifying the ncurses's Makefile, the compile will success.

But after being installed on the Linksys WRT1900ac, it won't boot as I wish.

After trying the latest commits, the compile will success.

I didn't do any changes to the source code.
