Summary

0002734: "make menuconfig" unusable with colormake

Description

With MAKE=colormake, calling "make menuconfig" (or calling "colormake menuconfig" with MAKE unset) results in the screen being cleared, and then one gets:

--8<--8<--8<--
#
# using defaults found in .config
#

interrupted(11)
make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 1
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
-->8-->8-->8--

It might be a problem in colormake as well, but I guess it could be handled at least more gracefully by the busybox build system.

Happens with 1.9.2 and 1.10.0 at least (both of which not being available in the "product version" drop-down list anyway).

Colormake --------- This is a simple wrapper for making the output from make easier to read (more colorful), and errors easier to find in messy compilations. It was inspired by Micheal T. Babcock's excellent logcolorize program. It most probably got utterly confused by "make menuconfig"'s output which contains ESC sequences etc. I am not volunteering to fix it...
