I'm building Util-linux 2.29.2 in Chapter 6 for PowerPC 32-BIT. My build
system is a Core 2 Duo with Linux from Scratch 20170713-systemd x86_64.
When I type make, ld gives me this error:

/mnt/clfs/cross-tools/bin/../lib/gcc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/7.2.0/../../../../powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
cannot find -lncursesw
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [Makefile:7214: ul] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[2]: Leaving directory '/mnt/clfs/sources/util-linux-2.31'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:11990: all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/mnt/clfs/sources/util-linux-2.31'
make: *** [Makefile:5002: all] Error 2

I installed Linux Headers 4.13.11, GCC 7.2.0, Binutils-2.29, and Glibc
2.26 in this cross toolchain.

I will greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks

Have you installed ncurses in the toolchain sysroot? basically ld cannot find libncurses

Hello,

You will need to either build without ncurses support or adjust the
generated Makefile and config.h to use the proper libraries. I think Chris
had a full proof way if you wanted to build with ncurses.

Example I have to do when using certain host distros:

sed -i 's/-lncursesw -ltinfo/-lncurses/' Makefile
sed -i 's/-lncursesw/-lncurses/' Makefile
sed -i 's/LIBNCURSESW/LIBNCURSES/' config.h

Sincerely,

William Harrington
