Nicolas, I'm not having a problem w builing ncurses in ch 5 or 6; from the subject of your post, it seems as though this is occurring the first time you build it, right?
The output logs from the last build I did show: checking if you want to link with the GPM mouse library... maybe checking for gpm.h... no for both builds. It looks to me like you might have a larger problem; my guess is that you're still using your build host's header files and libraries @ that point. See "5.7. Adjusting the Toolchain"; by the time you reach first ncurses build (5.13) you should be using only the libraries etc. that you've built up to that point (from 5.7: "From this point onwards, everything will link only against the libraries in /tools/lib."). Unless you decided to install gpm very early on I don't see how you could have gpm.h, the gpm library, etc. at that point. I would suggest checking to see that your build environment is set up correctly. Just a thought & I hope it helps. - Larry -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
