Hello everyone,
I'm trying to build the ncurses-5.6 package on a PowerPC board (running
2.6.15.7) in order to be able to make a "menuconfig" for a newer kernel (
2.6.20). I guess the ncurses running on the target right now are too old and
I need new ones because when I try to "make menuconfig" I get tons of errors
like:
-sh-3.00# make menuconfig
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/inputbox.o
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/menubox.o
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/textbox.o

HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/yesno.o
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/mconf.o
HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/mconf
scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o: In function `print_item':
checklist.c:(.text+0x50): undefined reference to `wmove'
checklist.c:(.text+0x6c): undefined reference to `waddch'
checklist.c:(.text+0x94): undefined reference to `wmove'
......
menubox.c:(.text+0xf0c): undefined reference to `delwin'
menubox.c:(.text+0x1044): undefined reference to `scrollok'
menubox.c:(.text+0x10dc): undefined reference to `delwin'
menubox.c:(.text+0x10e4): undefined reference to `delwin'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/mconf] Error 1
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
So I decided I need new ncurses, the "make oldconfig" option seems
mounstrous to me...
Now, however I'm facing new difficulties - the kernel runs from a initial
RAM disk, and all the kernel source to be compiled, together with gcc,
glibc, etc. reside on a hard drive, mounted under /usr1. I have setup the
following environment variables:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr1/local/lib:/usr1/lib
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr1/bin:/usr1/sbin:/usr1/local/bin:/usr1/local/sbin
C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr1/src/linux-2.6.20/iclude
Now when I try to build ncurses (after a default './configure' ) I get this:
/usr1/local/bin/g++ -I../c++ -I../include -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.
-I../include -D_GNU_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -O2 -c ../c++/cursesf.cc -o
../objects/cursesf.o

make[1]: *** [../objects/cursesf.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr1/src/ncurses-5.6/c++'
make: *** [all] Error 2
I cannot understand why the preprocessor cannot find the linux headers. I'm
obviously doing something terribly stupid but can't figure out what.
Please help me out with some sugestions.
I put some additional info for gcc and cpp @ EOM.
With kind regards,
Konstantin Boyanov
