Ncurses tools First, ensure that gawk is found first during configuration: sed -i s/mawk// configure Then, run the following commands to build the tic program on the build host: mkdir build cd build ../configure make -C include make -C progs tic cd .. Prepare Ncurses for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --host=$LFS_TGT \ --build=$(./config.guess) \ --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --with-shared \ --without-debug \ --without-ada \ --without-normal \ --enable-widec \ --enable-pc-files --without-ada This ensures that Ncurses does not build support for the Ada compiler which may be present on the host but will not be available once we enter the chroot environment. --enable-widec This switch causes wide-character libraries (e.g., libncursesw.so.&ncurses-version;) to be built instead of normal ones (e.g., libncurses.so.&ncurses-version;). These wide-character libraries are usable in both multibyte and traditional 8-bit locales, while normal libraries work properly only in 8-bit locales. Wide-character and normal libraries are source-compatible, but not binary-compatible. --enable-pc-files This switch generates and installs .pc files for pkg-config. --without-normal This switch disables building and installing most static libraries. Compile the package: make Install the package: make DESTDIR=$LFS TIC_PATH=$(pwd)/build/progs/tic install ln -s libncursesw.so $LFS/usr/lib/libncurses.so Move the shared libraries to the /lib directory, where they are expected to reside: mv -v $LFS/usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6* $LFS/lib Because the libraries have been moved, one symlink points to a non-existent file. Recreate it: ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink $LFS/usr/lib/libncursesw.so) $LFS/usr/lib/libncursesw.so
