LLVM12 :: cgnutools: Fail to build LLVM, cannot find libcurses

On a musl host, LLVM fails to build due to liker not able to find -lcurses:

Same issue on hosts running MLFS 9.0.0 and CMLFS 2.0.0 (with LTO)

First attempt was building cgnutools with LTO. Same error for LLVM. Then I tried again with out LTO: same error.

Also caught another error:

Not sure why suddenly build breaks on Musl. Was broken on Glibc hosts.

You need to build curses libraries, e.g GNU ncurses in every stage. I also experience that, as always.

I did try installing ncurses to cgnutools and same exact error. I would think setting the paths in /cgnutools/etc/ld-musl-x86_64.path would be enough.

Strange, when building under Ubuntu, I didn't have this issue

I tried that too and build still failed with missing libstd.h header...

First I thought building cgnutools with LTO broke it but I did try again without LTO and same exact errors

Derrick · Answer 7 · Thu Jul 15 2021 23:07:00 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I rebuilt cgnutools. This time with no LTO for GCC static and GCC final. Now I can build file without --host=and --target... same error for missing libcurses. Installed libcurses to cgnutools as static library. Same error. Created a link:

ln -sv libncursesw.a /cgnutools/lib/libcurses.a

Now build proceeds!

I don;t know why, but in the past i never had to for cgnutools or cross-tools.... even under Ubuntu.

Hmm, I wonder too.
