Cross-compiling GHC for ARM (RPi)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I'm having some trouble cross-compiling GHC (or just making a cross-compiler, which is what I am trying to do for now). I got my toolchain through crosstool-ng. I just took the arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi sample and disabled the "render the toolchain read-only" option. Unfortunately nt-ng does not come with ncurses, so I also compiled and installed that. I set the prefix to ~/x-tools/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/sysroot, where ~/x-tools/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi is where my toolchain is located. I copied the mk/build.mk.sample file to mk/build.mk and uncommented the quick-cross option. I left everything else as-is. After configuring I executed make, which runs for quite a while but eventually it complains about not being able to find the curses headers. What do I do to fix this? I wouldn't mind using a different toolchain if I can get it to work, so I am open for anything. Configure summary of ncurses and last lines of output of make: http://hastebin.com/uwuwenucux.txt I hope you can help me resolve this, I've been trying to do this for a long time now :/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJUe6uhAAoJEGBf7SEXmH6sIMkH/3eK500hnjjN3+hv/7P0YmY2 QVcDWJxRMgnFCyFA9oxAeJYqKeIps2H3555NSLdB19DK7QCG1x4TJpUBGCz09PfX mH8ZN2qIirHIYUHOZa5JdE8cqvWd3hI1syr22PsxqyI4tkDuIfKsAp8IbJOd/vSX 9oqKjHe0OYHKIoUUlHST1AI2lElMby69nxBMprhU8yugIyEFSmQg+nuxG2Hq5GA4 SgOExWeuJHrxIAW0WZ8vipw7PG3IfJTzDSCMzIAPfri8TVhy2UNNVpjg4aaq//X0 TXXweFS1O/EpDSuRkU/2b5nGlxbaNObLI5eAJ0Lot7Pl5Oa1afK5l5ZWYipx+Fk= =ol51 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Two obvious questions: 1) have you installed your ncurses into your sysroot? 2) have you passed your sysroot to really all gcc invocations? Your description looks like at least one answer to above question should be "no". For example I used custom bash script to solve (2), see [1].
