ncurses/terminfo compile error

[tyme]

ok, so I'm attempting to build OpenZaurus 3.5.1pre1 using the OpeEmbedded build system, according to the directions here.

 

Anyways, enough of the background, here's the problem. One of the packages I'm building is ncurses, and ncurses uses terminfo, but during the build of terminfo I get these errors:

"/tmp/28134", line 4235, terminal 'emx-base': resolution of use=ansi.sys failed

"/tmp/28134", line 4291, terminal 'cygwinB19': resolution of use=ansi.sys failed

? tic could not build /home/mark/oe/tmp/staging/i686-linux/share/terminfo

make[1]: *** [install.data] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mark/oe/tmp/base/ncurses-native-5.4-

r0/ncurses-5.4/misc'

make: *** [install] Error 2

FATAL: oemake failed

 

I've bolded the important ones. Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to post to the OZ mailing list later today, but thought I'd give it a shot here first (and since I can't access the email I used to subscribe to the list).

"/tmp/28134", line 4291, terminal 'cygwinB19': resolution of use=ansi.sys failed

 

What I noticed first off was the reference to cygwin which is a ms window$ reference then like someone slapping me on the back of the head.. I notice this..

 

ANSI.SYS <--

 

Linux dosn't use ANSI.SYS, windows does...

 

Soooo... while I don't have a definative answer, I would see if you can run configure with something like --disable-windows or some other switch to keep the application from trying to use the ansi.sys file...

 

Good Luck..

well, this is an automated process that I'm running. but thank's for the info, if I run back into this problem (i'm currently having a different one - very strange stuff) I'll look more into it.
