Hello,

I have spend a lot of time trying to get the GCCSDK stuff working
on cygwin, but in the end I have given up. It just failed seemingly
at random places. Not only at the instructions for building the
GCCSDK but also on different things. I even tried another machine,
but either something is really wrong with cygwin or I must have
done the exact same thing wrong, as I had the exact same problems
there.

Anyway, I got myself a new laptop (the old one didn't survive a
small flight from a chair to the ground, a bit disappointing...). I
chose to have a partition for Linux there, to see if that works
better.

I ended up with Ubuntu and managed to get the GCCSDK to build. I
tried the example of building wget with it and it says it produces
something (haven't actually checked if the files are there and if
they actually work, but I believe things are OK.

However, trying to build glib (and some other things I tried as
well) still gives some problems.

I tried:

../autobuilder/build -v libglib2.0-0

The autobuilder stars happily compiling and working, but after a
while it seems to get stuck. The last thing on screen says (typing
this over, haven't used time to get filesharing working):

sh -e ./tinfo/MKfallback.sh /home/jjvdgeer/env/share/terminfo
../misc/terminfo.src vt102 vt220 xterm-vt220 >fallback.c
creating temporary terminfo directory...

At this point nothing more seems to happen. I checked with 'top'
which suggest the CPU is using 100% of one of its cores on 'tic'
which seems to have something to do with terminfo, which seems to
correspond with the last command on screen. Even though I have no
idea what it really is.

Anyway, typing Ctrl-C gives:

^CPackage libncurses5: ***Failure***
Dependency "libncurses5" failed for gettext
Dependency "gettext" failed for libglib2.0-0
Build for package "libglib2.0-0" failed

Anyone any ideas what is going on and what might be wrong?

Thanks,
Jan-Jaap
