Hi Hugues,
Here are the steps ;
Libtermcap :
1) mkdir tmp
2) do rpm2cpio filename | ( cd tmp && cpio -id)
filename - downloaded libterm rpm file.
3)cd tmp.
There will ba tar.gz file and some patches .
extract tar ball and apply all the patches to it.
now change the Makefile ..
CC = arm-linux-gcc
AR = arm-linux-ar
make .
You will get the .so file for libterm compiled for ARM.Just include this in your lib
directory for ARM.
Ncurses ;
For ncurses follow the above stuff but you have to do the patch*.sh in the extracted
ncurses directory which patches all the files .
later apply the all the patches present.
Then do
./configure --with-shared
for enabling shared lib support.creates libncurses.so else it will create
libcurses.a
Then change the Makefile and replace all gcc,ld,ar with your arm-linux
equivalents...also select the directory in which you want to install....That is the
prefix in the Makefile .
Default is set to usr.......
Meaning your library will be installed in usr/lib......
Try this and let me know how you fare
bye
Anand

Hi Anand
I've downloaded the SRPMS already, but could you do me a favor and describe the
high level steps required to do this.
I.e.
1- Install the RPM
2- uncompress the source
3- ./configure --target=arm-linux --prefix=/skiff/local/
4- make
5- ?? Do I copy the include from the source to the toolchain include dir ?
6- Any other steps ?
Thanks
