Thank you P.O.,

I will have a closer look and post updates as soon as there is anything 
interesting to share.

Hi Thomas,

I think one would need to amend CMakeLists.txt at this point to consider also
Android.

I will have a look later unless someone else beats me to it.

There is another possibility using jenkins, an emulator plugin

https://plugins.jenkins.io/android-emulator/

https://www.vogella.com/tutorials/JenkinsAndroid/article.html

I am not sure how to use it, but will have a look, please do the same.

Hi,

Turns out that nurses is working just fine. I was able to build ooRexx thanks
to your hints P.O.

Although that is only half the truth. The problem is actually using the Android
toolchain. So when I want to compile ooRexx for Android. The check is also
carried out here. Already on Ubuntu there was one or the other problem at this
point. Some functionalities failed in this test. I even imagine that the
problem with NCurses also existed here. However, the build process was not
aborted. Is this new, that the build process is aborted if NCurses is not
found, or has it always been like this?

In any case, it is understandable that this problem occurs. The Android
toolchain uses the Bionic library which provides these functionalities (Posix
functions, NCurses, etc.).

This means that the test which CMake performs fails. However, the functionality
is available in the Bionic library. CMake just does not recognise it. Therefore
I would have to deactivate or bypass this test.

Would someone be so kind and tell me how to deactivate this test?

Thank you and best regards Thomas

hi,

make sure to uninstall the ncurses from Homebrew first, it should work out of
the box once you have the tools from Xcode, CMake and Subversion (to get the
source).

@Mark: let me know if I am forgetting something.

Hi P.O.,

Thanks for your tips. Yes, I installed the developer command line tools like
you said. Maybe I will try to reinstall.
I will have a look at your tips and keep you updated.

Thank you!

Best regards

Hi Thomas, nice to have you back!

We are already building for M1 Mac since some time so it should be possible to
sort you out.

In the normal case ncurses is taken from the Xcode command line tools that you
install with Xcode-select install, did you do that? This is how it should look
like on a M1 Mac with Monterey when CMake runs:

The 12.1 should be 12.2 if you have uppgraded lately

If you have installed another version of ncurses (using HomeBrew or Ports for
instance) you need to symlink them into the right place, the installation gives
you a hint for that but the one from Apple works just fine.

Let us know how you progress and if you need any further help

Dear Developers,

Its been a while since my last attempt to port ooRexx to Android. The time has
come to finish this project.
Meanwhile, I changed my approach and want to try to port it from an ARM Mac to
Android instead of Linux.
I want to give it a try but I’m already stuck at the beginning.

The initial build on Mac worked just fine but combining it with the CMAKE
toolchain gives me an error regarding curses:

I installed ncurses via Home-brew. I got the following hints from Home-brew
directly after installing:

<NCURSES_HOMEBREW.png>

I already tried different things but still, CMake is complaining about the
missing Curses. Here is what I've tried so far:

* -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/homebrew/opt/ncurses/bin (I added this line to
my CMake command. The error stays the same)
* I also tried to add these two lines to the CMakeLists.txt file. Probably
at the wrong place. Maybe anyone can tell me where I have to put this two lines:

Does anyone know how to tell CMake where it can find curses? Is there anything
else to change besides the path information?

Thanks in advance

Best regards
Thomas
