Can't compile crosstool-ng-1.15.2 on OpenSuse Linux

Can't compile crosstool-ng-1.15.2 on OpenSuse Linux

[Simon Gornall]

Hi there, 

I just downloaded crosstool-ng-1.15.2 and tried to compile under Suse Linux, to make myself an arm cross-compiler. Unfortunately I can't get past the first stage:

xanadu% wget http://crosstool-ng.org/download/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.15.2.tar.bz2
xanadu% ./configure --prefix=/opt
xanadu% tar xjvf crosstool-ng-1.15.2.tar.bz2
xanadu% cd crosstool-ng-1.15.2/
xanadu% ./configure --prefix=/opt

I tried to see if menu.h was really there but somehow being missed:

xanadu%   find . -name menu.h
xanadu%   

It wasn't there, so I thought I'd redo-from-scratch  and tried:

xanadu% make mrproper
  RM     'ct-ng'
  RM     'scripts/crosstool-NG.sh'
  RM     'scripts/saveSample.sh'

  RM     'docs/ct-ng.1.gz'
  RM     'Makefile'
  RM     'autostuff'
xanadu%  autoconf
xanadu% !./configure && make

... but still got the same errors.  Am I doing something stupid, or is this a known bug ?

Cheers
	Simon

menu.h comes with ncurses; make sure development package for ncurses
are installed on your system.

Thanks for the quick response [grin]  I didn't know menu.h was part of ncurses, so I've now made sure it's there

xanadu% ls /usr/include/ncurses/
cursesapp.h  curses.h   cursesp.h  cursslk.h  etip.h  menu.h      ncurses_dll.h  panel.h    term_entry.h  tic.h
cursesf.h    cursesm.h  cursesw.h  eti.h      form.h  nc_tparm.h  ncurses.h      termcap.h  term.h        unctrl.h

but I still get the same:

xanadu% make
  GEN    'config/configure.in'
  GEN    'paths.mk'
  GEN    'paths.sh'
  CC     'nconf.o'
In file included from nconf.c:12:0:
nconf.h:19:18: fatal error: menu.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [nconf.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [build-lib-kconfig] Error 2
make: *** [build] Error 2

... so I tried a 'make mrproper' / 'autoconf' in case something was cached, but still got the same. Tracking down 'nconf.c' to the kconfig directory,  I saw that nconf.h does a  "#include <menu.h>" so I ended up adding "-I/usr/include/ncurses" to the CFLAGS declaration inside the Makefile in kconfig/  At least that way I could get it to compile :)

Does the following help?

Unfortunately, that patch breaks on other distros (eg. Debian squeeze).

IIRC, there was another solution: install the non-wide-char ncurses devel
package.

Yann E. MORIN, still purging the back-log...

In which case, doing what I originally did, and adding "-I/usr/include/ncurses" to the CFLAGS declaration inside the Makefile in kconfig/  might seem to be the way to go. Adding ncurses itself didn't help because they're installed inside a container directory in /usr/include, but appending the above -I flag ought to be innocuous on non-suse systems (right?) and it lets suse-linux compile cleanly.

That's what I'll do.

I have a more invasive patch to replace our bundled kconfig with the
kconfig-frontends package, but it is a bit too-much invasive...

Thank you for helping solve this issue.
