On the other hand, I have the impression that Debian packagers would prefer to use ".pc" files. The log shows that there is no suitable pkg-config for the cross-compiler, so it falls through to the script looking for ncurses*-config I did that recently, and verified that the script works with the pkg-config which is part of the MinGW cross-compilers. (If there is something I've overlooked, that would be nice to know). Perhaps the proper fix for your build is to ensure that there is a pkg-config for the cross-build, rather than restoring the ncurses*-config scripts to your build-environment. -- Thomas E.
