[Buildroot] buildroot ncurses build problem

[snarf77 at free.fr]

Hi all,

this my first post on this list so first of all hello to everybody.

My wish is to create a real time kernel and a minimal rootfs for a atmel at91sam0g20ek eval board. Until now I did it the old way manually but I wanted to give a try to buildroot ti automate all the stuff.

I downloaded buildroot and configure menuconfig simply with architecture = arm and target = arm926t and my first "make" was successful and the image is working fine. Good job guys !!

But then each time I want to add a new package that depends on ncurses (in my case "nano" editor but this failed also even by simply selecting ncurses) I have my build failed in the ncurses directory with the following error:

snarf77 at buildrootVM:~/Downloads/buildroot-2012.02-rc3/output/build/host-ncurses-5.7/c++$ make
cd ../objects;   -I../c++ -I../include -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../include  -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64  -DNDEBUG -I/home/snarf77/Downloads/buildroot-2012.02-rc3/output/host/usr/include/ncurses -I/home/snarf77/Downloads/buildroot-2012.02-rc3/output/host/include -I/home/snarf77/Downloads/buildroot-2012.02-rc3/output/host/usr/include  -c ../c++/cursesf.cc
/bin/sh: -I../c++: not found
make: *** [../objects/cursesf.o] Error 127


I'm runnning ubuntu 10.10 32bits and have installed libncurses5.7 if this matters.

I have tried with buildroot 2011.11 and same issue so I guess it come either from my environment (ubuntu package missing ?) or from make option or buildroot configuration selection ???

Many thanks in advance for your help as I'm stuck there..

Here you are running make from a build directory directly. This is not
supported.
You should run 'make' from the top-level buildroot directory, i.e.
~/Downloads/buildroot-2012.02-rc3

Do you have the same problem then?

It seems that the compiler is not correctly filled in (the variable is empty).

Can you check the value of CXX in output/build/host-ncurses-5.7/c++/Makefile ?

Do you have something specific set in your environment?

It seems that the compiler is not correctly filled in (the variable is empty).

Can you check the value of CXX in output/build/host-ncurses-5.7/c++/Makefile ?

Normally these should be set by the configure script I think. In the build
directory there are some config.* files, can you check whether there is any
clue in there?

This looks like the same basic problem where a tool variable is not
properly filled in.
In guess once the first problem is found, this one will be solved as well.

 Search for CXX in output/build/host-ncurses-5.7/config.log and
output/build/host-ncurses-5.7/c++/Makefile

 In output/build/host-ncurses-5.7/config.log you should find:
ac_cv_env_CXX_set=set
ac_cv_env_CXX_value='/usr/bin/g++'

 This leads to the following in 
output/build/host-ncurses-5.7/c++/Makefile:
CXX             = /usr/bin/g++


 By the way, you do have /usr/bin/g++ installed I hope?


 If you've changed anything in your environment (e.g. installed g++),
you have to do a clean build of the package:

make host-ncurses-dirclean
make

 Arnout
