#8746: Crosscompiling -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Visionstar | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.2 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Crosscompile Operating System: Linux | cross compile failed ncurses Type of failure: Building GHC | setupterm not found failed | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by Visionstar): Thank you very much for your response! i somehow managed to go past this 'bug' by doing the following: I configured the ncurses library like this: {{{ ./configure arm-linux-gnueabihf --with-gcc=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf --prefix=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf --with- shared --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --with-build-cpp=arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ }}} Afterwards i did the "make" and added it to the path Then i used the ./configure with an "sysroot" command command for GHC like this: {{{ --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf --with-gcc=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --with- shared --enable-unregisterised }}} Which probably didn't change anything, but it got me past that problem with ncurses. '''''But''''' i have now another problem: i get the following error when i try to 'make' the application: {{{ when making flags consistent: Warning: Compiler unregisterised, so compiling via C <<ghc: 1727251296 bytes, 1559 GCs, 5132689/17335628 avg/max bytes residency (7 samples), 37M in use, 0.00 INIT (0.00 elapsed), 2.86 MUT (7.22 elapsed), 0.30 GC (0.30 elapsed) :ghc>> echo "compiler_stage2_depfile_haskell_EXISTS = YES" >> compiler/stage2/build/.depend-v-dyn.haskell.tmp for dir in compiler/stage2/build/./ compiler/stage2/build/CodeGen/ compiler/stage2/build/CodeGen/Platform/ compiler/stage2/build/Hoopl/ compiler/stage2/build/Llvm/ compiler/stage2/build/LlvmCodeGen/ compiler/stage2/build/PPC/ compiler/stage2/build/RegAlloc/ compiler/stage2/build/RegAlloc/Graph/ compiler/stage2/build/RegAlloc/Linear/ compiler/stage2/build/RegAlloc/Linear/PPC/ compiler/stage2/build/RegAlloc/Linear/SPARC/ compiler/stage2/build/RegAlloc/Linear/X86/ compiler/stage2/build/RegAlloc/Linear/X86_64/ compiler/stage2/build/SPARC/ compiler/stage2/build/SPARC/CodeGen/ compiler/stage2/build/Vectorise/ compiler/stage2/build/Vectorise/Builtins/ compiler/stage2/build/Vectorise/Generic/ compiler/stage2/build/Vectorise/Monad/ compiler/stage2/build/Vectorise/Type/ compiler/stage2/build/Vectorise/Utils/ compiler/stage2/build/X86/; do if test !

Could you tell me how to come over this error or how to bypass/workaround it?
