| |
I'm trying to cross-compile a PowerPC kernel from an Intel OS X system. I've almost got it working, except "make menuconfig" dies. It says I'm missing ncurses:
*** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the *** required header files. *** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.
However, I do not think that ncurses is the real problem, since I do have ncurses installed. I think the real problem is that the check-lxdialog.sh is trying to execute this code:
echo -e ' #include CURSES_LOC \n main() {}' | gcc '-DCURSES_LOC=<ncurses.h>' -DLOCALE -DKBUILD_NO_NLS -lncurses -xc - -o .lxdialog.tmp
And the compiler is failing with this output:
<stdin>:1: error: syntax error before ‘-’ token <stdin>:1: error: stray ‘#’ in program
So something strange is going on. Has anyone been able to cross-compile from an Intel Mac running OS X? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
