ncurses lib versions

[Martin Trautmann]

Hi all,

which parts of the ncurses lib are required for coreboot v3?

I did a default install of the current ncurses lib 5.6. A "make 
menuconfig" on the latest svn coreboot complains about missing COLS, 
wmove, acs_map etc.

These functions are named within /usr/include/curses.h and ncurses.h

The README names libncurses5-dev. I did not find this anywhwere. I reran 
a "configure --with-develop" in ncurses-5.6, but did not obtain any 
improvement.

Thanks,
Martin

Development parts.

Probably missing the development parts.

Were /usr/include/curses.h and ncurses.h installed by make install
from your build?

Your distribution should already include a ncurses development
package, try to install that.

Another data point would be running make menuconfig in a Linux source
directory. If that works and v3 doesn't, we need to fix it.

Thanks, there was one indeed (ubuntu).

I guess somewhere there's some docu how this could be built on ones own, 
but I'm happy now,
