@snikeguo what Kconfig frontends are you using?

Mine is 4.11:

$ apt info kconfig-frontends
Package: kconfig-frontends
Version: 4.11.0.1+dfsg-6

Alternatively you can try to use python3-kconfiglib, although I don't like kconfiglib because it cannot search for symbols when you start it with CONFIG_ and the symbol name, where kconfig-frontends support with or without CONFIG_

@snikeguo here version in use in nuttx

kconfig-frontends for msys2 on the MSYS environment

--enable-mconf option will enable the menuconfig

@snikeguo here version in use in nuttx

kconfig-frontends for msys2 on the MSYS environment

--enable-mconf option will enable the menuconfig

how to use?
I tried such a command, but it still doesn't work：

cd /nuttx/tools/ci/platforms
./msys2.sh
+ install_build_tools
+ mkdir -p ''
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘’: No such file or directory

[snikeguo]

By the way, can you support ConMenu?

https://download-redirect.rt-thread.org/download/env_release/env-windows-1.5.0.7z

[simbit18]

@snikeguo

Steps fresh and clean install MSYS2

1) Install MSYS2
https://www.msys2.org/

2) Use MSYS2 MSYS shell launcher (C:\msys64\msys2.exe)

(https://www.msys2.org/docs/environments/)

   Update the package databases
  $ pacman -Syuu

3) Installing dependencies
(Always use the MSYS2 shell launcher -> C:\msys64\msys2.exe)

 $ pacman -S --noconfirm --needed base-devel gcc gperf automake autoconf git python3 ncurses-devel unzip zip tio zlib-devel cmake ninja python-pip vim

 $ pip3 install --root-user-action=ignore --no-cache-dir pyelftools cxxfilt kconfiglib

4) Install a toolchain for ARM architecture and tool kconfig frontends
(Always use the MSYS2 shell launcher -> C:\msys64\msys2.exe)

   $ mkdir -p nuttxspace

   $ cd nuttxspace

Copy the attached script install_tools.txt (change extension .txt -> .sh )to the nuttxspace folder and run

   $ ./install_tools.sh

This command must run in every terminal window

   $ source ./tools/env.sh

Check the compiler version you have already installed.

   $ arm-none-eabi-gcc --version

5) Clone git repositories

   $ git clone https://github.com/apache/nuttx.git nuttx
   
   $ git clone https://github.com/apache/nuttx-apps apps

6) Initialize Configuration and Build NuttX
(Always use the MSYS2 shell launcher -> C:\msys64\msys2.exe)

   $ cd nuttx
   
   $ ./tools/configure.sh -g stm32f4discovery:nsh
     ( where :
       -g selects the Windows host and MSYS environment
       stm32f4discovery:nsh -> <board name>:<board configuration>) 

You can then customize this configuration

   $ make menuconfig

Build NuttX
(you can pass the -jN flag to make, where N is the number of parallel jobs

   $ make V=1 -j 2

To clean the build, you can do:

  $ make clean -j 2

Build NuttX for new board

first run

   $ make distclean -j 2
   (It removes the configuration of the previous board)

after running the command (start of step 6)

   $ ./tools/configure.sh -g <board name>:<board configuration>

@snikeguo ConMenu is not an independent open-source project like kconfig-frontends, it seems like a RT-Thread only thing. I found a ConMenu independent project here: https://github.com/meznaric/conmenu but it is something else.

Kconfig works fine on Linux, Windows, Mac, BSDs, etc. On Windows you can also use WSL/WSL2, it works fine and is faster then Cygwin/MSYS2.

@snikeguo Which environment are you using ?

https://www.msys2.org/docs/environments/

nuttx is currently used on MSYS environment

The MSYS environment contains the unix-like/cygwin based tools, lives under /usr and is special in that it is always active. All the other environments inherit from the MSYS environment and add various things on top of it.

type on terminal window
$ uname -s

what do you see?
MINGW64_NT- or MSYS_NT- ?

then I remind you to do:

clean the build,

$ make clean -j 2

for new board

$ make distclean -j 2
(It removes the configuration of the previous board)

@snikeguo you are not yet using the MSYS environment

path MSYS environment -> C:\msys64\msys2.exe

$ uname -a

after that I recommend that you remove the contents of the nuttxspace folder and repeat the steps
