Hello Homebrewers!

I've tried to install the toolchain under my Ubuntu Linux System.
After a while there occurs an error, but i don't know what to do now. Maybe one of you could help me to figure it out!?

Here's the part with the error:

Make sure you're using a recent autoconf and automake. For Debian, something like

Code: Select all

apt-get install automake1.9
update-alternatives --set automake /usr/bin/automake-1.9

Probably similar for Ubuntu.

Ubuntu likes to install an older version of automake by default if you just use 'automake' as a keyword. Use synaptic to remove the old version and install the latest.

You'll also have to restart the toolchain script from the beginning.

Thank you a lot! i installed a new automake but didn't know that i have to update the "symlink" to automake by myself...
I started the toolchain.sh again and later the script it wants to configure gdb, there comes a new error:

Code: Select all

checking for windres... windres
checking for mig... mig
checking for main in -lm... yes
checking for wctype... yes
checking for library containing gethostbyname... none required
checking for library containing socketpair... none required
checking for library containing waddstr... no
checking for library containing tgetent... no
configure&#58; error&#58; no termcap library found
make&#58; *** &#91;configure-gdb&#93; Fehler 1
ERROR BUILDING GDB

Maybe you could help me again?? I have gdb 6.3 installed. Is this important?

To save you some time, here's everything that I had to install on a fresh copy of ubuntu breezy (5.10) the other day:

build-essential
subversion
automake1.9
autoconf
libncurses5-dev
flex

You should be able to install the last two packages and just do:

./toolchain.sh -e -p

Enjoy!

(edit: changed to libncurses5-dev)
