I am going out of the frying pan into the fire today…
I wanted to create a custom firmware for my RPi5, I need nftables.
So I cloned the repo at the latest tag (v0.3.1), set my MIX_TARGET, changed the mix.exs file, as I have done several times in the past.
I got my dependencies and compiled, so far so good.
Now I need to get to the make menuconfig, so I ran mix nerves.system.shell copied the docker command and ran it. Still good.
But when I do make menuconfig I just get a blank screen, with a single line on the bottom
/home/nerves/project/.config - Buildroot 2024.05.2 Configuration----------
That’s all. No menus, nothing and I have to ctrl-c to get out of it.
I assumed it has something to do with me being on an M2-Mac, so I ssh-d into my Ubuntu development machine and did the same dance.
But here I cannot even get the firmware to compile.

make[1]: *** [Makefile:750: target-finalize] Error 126
make: *** [Makefile:23: _all] Error 2
I traced the error back to the installation of the certificates, apparently it is trying to call the target cat command instead of the host’s.
So now I am stuck, on my Mac the firmware compiles, but make menuconfig is empty, on Ubuntu it doesn’t compile.
Help?
