Dear maintainers,
When compiling the package cpm for loong64 in the Debian Package
Auto-Building environment [1].
We gave you feedback on the FTBFS compilation issue in advance.
Other architectures will have the same error if they retrigger the
compilation.
The error message is as follows:
......omit
checking for wget_wch in -lncursesw... yes
checking for ncursesw5-config... no
: error: Could not find ncursesw5-config anywhere.
tail -v -n \+0 config.log
......omit
- Full log of compilation errors reported (latest build status)，please
see [2] or [3].
The version of the dependency package libncurses-dev is 6.4+20230625-2.
- Full log of compiling properly (Builds as of 2022-12-22), please see [4].
The dependency package libncurses-dev is version 6.3+20220423-2
After analyzing, the cpm source package compile error is related to the
libncurses-dev package.
The latest version of ncurses 6.4+20230625 does not provide a soft link
from ncursesw6-config to ncursesw5-config.
The version of ncurses 6.3 and earlier versions, e.g. ncurses
6.2+20201114 provide softlinks from ncursesw6-config, for example,
root@buildd:~/ncurses-6.2+20201114# cat debian/libncurses-dev.links
|grep ncursesw5-config
usr/bin/ncursesw6-config usr/bin/ncursesw5-config
usr/share/man/man1/ncursesw6-config.1 usr/share/man/man1/ncursesw5-config.1
Therefore, it is recommended that maintainers consider modifying the cpm
code to accommodate all architectures.
If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time.
