ncurses does not build on uclibc system when the gpm USE flag is enabled. When disabled, it merges fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="gpm" emerge -1 ncursees 2. 3. Actual Results: * ERROR: sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r3::gentoo failed (compile phase): * emake failed Expected Results: ncurses installed on system

There are a few errors in ncurses_cfg.h. Fix each in order we hit the next 1) Lines 58 and 59 of include/ncurses_cfg.h are messed up: #define LIBGPM_SONAME "libgpm.so.1' libgpm.so.1" 2) Line 109 redefines pid_t #define pid_t int After this I hit ncurses/curses.priv.h:773:2: error: unknown type name 'SIG_ATOMIC_T' and stopped. Rene, did an older version of ncurses work?
(In reply to Anthony Basile from comment #3) > Rene, did an older version of ncurses work? I don't think I enabled the gpm USE flag on an older revision, so I can't answer this. Where is the Portage install history? Because according to files inside /var/log/portage/elog, the two versions I had were 5.9-r2 and 5.9-r3 (since December 2013).

The history is here https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-libs/ncurses/ Look in the attic, where it says "(Show 51 dead files)". I was hoping to bracket the error between versions because I didn't see anything obvious in the code. Also, I don't want to go down a guagmire of bug fixes since it looks like more than one thing is wrong.
Do you have something simpler? Because going back to ncurses-5.7-r7 requires I downgrade sys-libs/gpm which then requires me to downgrade sys-libs/readline , and readline currently has the following reverse dependencies on my system: % emerge -pv --depclean sys-libs/readline Calculating dependencies ... done! sys-libs/readline-6.2_p5-r1 pulled in by: app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.26-r3 requires sys-libs/readline app-office/abiword-2.8.6-r2 requires sys-libs/readline app-shells/bash-4.2_p53 requires >=sys-libs/readline-6.2 app-text/hunspell-1.3.3 requires sys-libs/readline dev-db/sqlite-3.8.9 requires sys-libs/readline:0/0=[abi_x86_64(-)], sys-libs/readline:0=[abi_x86_64(-)] dev-lang/python-2.7.9-r1 requires >=sys-libs/readline-4.1 dev-lang/python-3.3.5-r1 requires >=sys-libs/readline-4.1 dev-libs/libpcre-8.36 requires sys-libs/readline dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.2-r1 requires sys-libs/readline:0/0=, sys-libs/readline:= media-gfx/gphoto2-2.5.3 requires sys-libs/readline net-ftp/lftp-4.6.2 requires >=sys-libs/readline-5.1 sys-apps/gawk-4.0.2 requires sys-libs/readline sys-devel/bc-1.06.95 requires >=sys-libs/readline-4.1 sys-devel/gdb-7.7.1 requires sys-libs/readline sys-fs/xfsprogs-3.2.1 requires sys-libs/readline sys-libs/slang-2.2.4-r1 requires >=sys-libs/readline-6.2_p5-r1:0[abi_x86_64(-)] sys-process/fcron-3.1.2-r2 requires sys-libs/readline ncurses-5.8 seemed neglected by Gentoo.
this all boils down to the same issue -- LIBGPM_SONAME is broken this is because the configure script attempts to detect the soname by using ldd. on uclibc, the output confuses the script which causes it to print the name twice. it can be worked around by doing: export cf_cv_gpm_soname=libgpm.so.1 the uClibc ldd output is not great regardless: $ ldd /bin/bash checking sub-depends for '/lib/libreadline.so.6' checking sub-depends for '/lib/libncurses.so.5' checking sub-depends for '/lib/libiconv.so.2' checking sub-depends for '/lib/libc.so.0' libreadline.so.6 => /lib/libreadline.so.6 (0x00000000) libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x00000000) libiconv.so.2 => /lib/libiconv.so.2 (0x00000000) libc.so.0 => /lib/libc.so.0 (0x00000000) /lib/ld64-uClibc.so.0 => /lib/ld64-uClibc.so.0 (0x00000000) it shouldn't be emitting those "checking sub-depends" lines.
looks like the ebuild was already passing in the soname via some multilib logic. i changed it to just do it all the time: http://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=912dfbf3095a5087982364d5813b3ebdc03c4cf7 that makes this issue go away, but i think we want to clean up uClibc's ldd
Created attachment 409060 [details] config.log I tried again with the change made by vapier and now econf fails, although ncurses_cfg.h no longer have the two errors. Attaching config.log as asked by the econf failure. build.log will come next.

Problem seems fixed since the update to 5.9-r5 then 5.9-r99.
(In reply to René Rhéaume from comment #11) > Problem seems fixed since the update to 5.9-r5 then 5.9-r99. yep. closing resolved fixed.
