Arch Linux User Repository

Make sure you have the multilib-devel group installed before reporting issues while building the package. I will not add it as a makedepends because it is not a makedepends for lib32-ncurses5 either. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Build_32-bit_packages_on_a_64-bit_system

If anyone is still having trouble getting used to PGP signing, make sure to add the key mentioned in the PKGBUILD:

$ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 19882D92DDA4C400C22C0D56CC2AF4472167BE03

Just adopted the package. I fixed outstanding issues and cleaned up the PKGBUILD, take a look at the last commit for more info.

This one function works (must be ncurse 6 installed already), at least android-sdk goes: #conflicts=("lib32-ncurses") #provides=("lib32-ncurses") ........ package() { cd ${srcdir}/ncursesw-build make install install -dm755 ${pkgdir}/usr/lib32 # non-widec compatibility libraries cd ${srcdir}/ncurses-build for lib in ncurses form panel menu; do install -Dm755 lib/lib${lib}.so.${_compatpkgver} ${pkgdir}/usr/lib32/lib${lib}.so.${_compatpkgver} ln -s lib${lib}.so.${_compatpkgver} ${pkgdir}/usr/lib32/lib${lib}.so.5 done rm -rf "${pkgdir}"/usr/{include,share,bin} mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses" ln -s $_pkgbasename "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname" cd $pkgdir/usr/lib32/ find . -iname "*.so" -delete && find . -iname "*.a" -delete }

Cant't build with CPPFLAGS="-P"

I'm getting build errors. http://sprunge.us/cMDG

First of all, you *must* modify the current PKGBUILD script because of two reasons explained below. 1) This package *can't* conflict with lib32-ncurses because the library versions it provides are different. lib32-ncurses are for version 6 and this package is supposed to provide version 5 libaries. A temporary solution is just to disable the following PKGBUILD lines #conflicts=("lib32-ncurses") #provides=("lib32-ncurses") 2) If you can't find another solution to the problem mentioned earlier here ("a library already exists in filesystem" error message), simply delete all files/symlinks with suffix .a or .so in $pkgdir/usr/lib32 directory after the compilation process. To do this, just add the following lines into package() section in the PKGBUILD script: cd $pkgdir/usr/lib32/ find . -iname "*.so" -delete && find . -iname "*.a" -delete It's not a pure solution. Yes, it's a dirty one, temporary fix. But it works until someone else provides a better solution. That's all. Happy compiling.

Maybe I'm wrong but shouldn't this also be edited so it 'provides' lib32-ncurses?

@Viper_Scull I've tried to modify the ncurses5-compat-libs pkgbuild as you suggested; but I am unable to get the package function right.
