Please find below the system I am using:

The version of build root:

I cleaned buildroot. Anyway, I am starting from a clean clone from github:

My problem:
I go to Toolchain -> Enable WCHAR support
I check that Toolchain -> Enable MMU Support is selected
I go to Target packages -> Text editors and viewers. I press z to see hidden package.

I have:
- - vim
- - install runtime
*** vim needs a toolchain w/ wchar ***

My .config attached.

--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <[email protected]> --- vim is by default hidden behind the option BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS, because there is already a minimal implementation of vi in Busybox. So you should enable BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS and then you will be able to enable vim.

--- Comment #2 from L <[email protected]> ---
Indeed, in Target Packages menu, select: "Show packages that are also provided by Busybox", and vim is selectable.

The error message is quite confusing.
