From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Thomas De Schampheleire Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 19:16:33 +0200 Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 0 of 2] ncurses: fix hanging installation due to old version of tic (series) Message-ID: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net During installation of ncurses, the 'tic' program from the host is used. In some cases, this version of tic is too old for the data to be processed, and the installation hangs indefinitely (already reported in July 2010, see [1]) With this patch, a static version of tic is built and used during the installation step of target ncurses. This method is based on a similar fix in Gentoo Linux (see [2] for the report and [3] for the solution). Note that in order to build a host version of tic, I used the 'host' infrastructure of GENTARGETS. To avoid the install step (as it is also using the wrong tic and is really not needed) I added the recognition of HOST_PKGFOO_INSTALL_HOST to GENTARGETS, as a separate patch.
