Configuration

To configure NCurses 32-bit for install into our build root, run the following command:

CC="$BRFS_TARGET-gcc -m32" CXX="$BRFS_TARGET-g++ -m32" \
./configure --prefix=/usr                              \
            --host=$BRFS_TARGET32                      \
            --build=$(./config.guess)                  \
            --libdir=/usr/lib                          \
            --libexecdir=/usr/lib                      \
            --mandir=/usr/share/man                    \
            --with-shared                              \

Compilation and Installation

To compile NCurses 32-bit, run the following command:

make

Finally, to install NCurses 32-bit into the build root tree, run the following command:

make DESTDIR=$PWD/DESTDIR TIC_PATH=${BRFS}/tools/bin/tic install
ln -sv libncursesw.so DESTDIR/usr/lib/libncurses.so
cp -Rv DESTDIR/usr/lib/* $BRFS/usr/lib

More details about this package is covered later in the core system build.
