Hello,

I have installed Buildroot from the GIT branch 2018.11.x . Everything works
as expected except python (3.7) having no tkinter installed.

There is this patch called "0017-add-an-option-to-disable-tk.patch":

I already enabled the tk and tcl packages inside "make menuconfig" but had
no luck with it. When I was using buildroot 2018.05.x, I used this patch:
https://sourceforge.net/p/armadeus/code/ci/master/tree/patches/buildroot/2017.02/012-armadeus-add-tkinter-support-to-python.patch
in order to add a configuration option to python 3 which enables me to
include Tkinter into python3. This patch, however, has no effect anymore on
buildroot 2018.11.x . (I already tried changing PYTHON_DEPENDENCIES to
PYTHON3_DEPENDENCIES in the patch).

I have no idea what I should do now. Can you help me?

Thank you in advance
