Hi folks I am making slow progress in compiling 5.x but ran into a possible bug
tic hangs at compiling the terminfo database, alledgedly a known problem
when the curses versions of the build host and the curses library differ.
Avoiding extended functions in ncurses fixes the problem, because then
tic is called without the -x parameter.
The proposed fix is
diff --git a/repo/ncurses/buildtool.mk b/repo/ncurses/buildtool.mk
index ac17ef5..c7d8b6f 100644
--- a/repo/ncurses/buildtool.mk
+++ b/repo/ncurses/buildtool.mk
@@ -36,6 +36,7 @@ $(NCURSES_DIR)/.configured: $(NCURSES_DIR)/.source
--with-terminfo-dirs="/etc/terminfo:/usr/share/terminfo" \
--without-cxx \
--without-cxx-binding \
+ --disable-ext-funcs \
--enable-overwrite;)
touch $(NCURSES_DIR)/.configured
I don't think we should depend on the curses version of the build host.
cheers
