Description Frederik Pasch 2009-08-14 08:32:47 UTC

Building alsa-utils for i686 on a x86_64 machine fails while linking alsamixer because the linker uses the wrong ncurses-lib.

I've seen those alsa-utils-1.0.18-acs_map.patch.<ARCH> patches, but for x86 this approach fails...

The problem is, that alsa-configure uses the script ncurses5-config from host to obtain the paths to ncurses-lib.

Perhaps a better workaround than those acs_maps-patches could be to define the correct ncurses5-config:

Thanks. This fix has been added to my 2009.08 branch that will hopefully be merged into the official Buildroot tree when Peter, Buildroot's maintainer, will be back from holidays.

See http://git.buildroot.net/~tpetazzoni/git/buildroot/commit/?h=for-2009.08&id=350b6c6e4b039ae0256e52cd06c6f6d769a1c2b1

Thanks for your contribution!
