If you > can confirm it builds this way, I'd rather do this instead. yes it builds with lib32ncurses5-dev, thanks. I wonder why the host part is 32-bit on ppc64 while it is 64-bit on amd64. Usually ppc64 is treated similar to amd64. Regards Andreas Jochens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The upstream code already does that (host_m32 is for the host components, and target_m32 for the bootloader itself). It's clear we need target_m32, but for host_m32 we don't know what works and what doesn't, so we can only stick to what upstream decided for us. Our problem, however, is not really to decide wether to use 32 or 64 bit for the host part, but to add biarch build-dependencies in case 32-bit is going to be used. To summarise: - To change host_m32 variable please check if that works and get in touch with upstream (grub-devel@gnu.org). - In case host_m32 is going to be set, we (debian) need to add the appropiate biarch build-dependencies, but we still need someone to confirm these work at least to get the thing building. -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.

I believe upstream chose to build the host part in 32-bit for a reason. If you (or someone else) can confirm this is no longer needed (i.e., grub2 builds, installs and runs), then we should check with upstream to get this check disabled. Otherwise, can we just add lib32ncurses5-dev et al to Build-Depends ? If you can confirm it builds this way, I'd rather do this instead.

Bug#389873: grub2: FTBFS (ppc64): util/console.c:275: undefined reference to `stdscr'
Package: grub2
Version: 1.94+20060926-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hello,
thank you for uploading the new version of grub2 which also targets ppc64.
When building 'grub2' on ppc64/unstable, I get the following error:
util/console.c:89: undefined reference to `stdscr'
util/console.c:89: undefined reference to `stdscr'
util/console.c:89: undefined reference to `waddch'
grub_emu-util_console.o: In function `grub_ncurses_init':

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [grub-emu] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/grub2-1.94+20060926'
make: *** [debian/stamp-makefile-build] Error 2
This occurs because util/console.c is compiled with the '-m32' switch
and the linker does not find a corresponding 32-bit-powerpc libncurses
library on ppc64.
With the attached patch 'grub2' can be compiled on ppc64.
Regards
Andreas Jochens
