[Buildroot] fails to build host-ncurses

[Buildroot] fails to build host-ncurses

[Belisko Marek]

My git HEAD is 01d7b429d9a0709ce96f7af892b14398b62d5b22.

I'm trying to build ncurses but it fails with:

ranlib ../lib/libncurses.a
ranlib ../lib/libncurses_g.a
make[2]: Leaving directory

Am I missing some host libs?

You're missing the static version of libc. Depending on your distro, it
might be installed through the libc6-dev package (Debian/Ubuntu), or
through the glibc-static package (or something similar on
Fedora/Redhat distros).

Basically, search for the package in your distro that will install the
libc.a file.

Best regards,

Thomas

Thanks. I have Fedora 17. I was going through BR documentation but
cannot find something
about distro preinstalled packages. IMO this could be added to
documentation to avoid email like mine ;)

Actually, it was part of the FAQ at
http://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot.html#faq, in the old
documentation. But for some reason, this FAQ has not been added to the
new documentation. I guess I am the one to blame since I'm the one who
did the conversion of the documentation :-)
