cross compile ghc curses not found

I tried to crosscompile from linux i386 to arm-linux-gnueabihf, but i cant make it happen, because it gives me this weird error while running 'make': ``` checking ncurses.h usability... yes checking ncurses.h presence... yes checking for ncurses.h... yes checking for setupterm in -ltinfo... no checking for setupterm in -lncursesw... no checking for setupterm in -lncurses... no checking for setupterm in -lcurses... no configure: error: in '/home/edi/ghc_cross/ghc/libraries/terminfo': configure: error: curses library not found, so this package cannot be built See 'config.log' for more details make[2]: *** [libraries/terminfo/dist-install/package-data.mk] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all_libraries/terminfo] Error 2 make[1]: Leave Directory '/home/edi/ghc_cross/ghc' make: *** [all] Error 2 ``` What have i done: -) Compiled 7.8.0 from github (The log says 'That should have been 7.8.0', i chose 7.8 because i thought it would be more stable for crosscompiling) to my i386 (normal boot, configure, make, make install). This worked fine -) installed newest llvm from svn (LLVM version 3.5svn) -) replaced the libffi-3.0.11.tar.gz in ghc/libffi-tarballs with libffi-3.0.13 -) added this version of mk/build.mk: ``` SRC_HC_OPTS = -H32m _o -fasm -Rghc-timing GhcStage1HcOpts = -O -fasm GhcStage2HcOpts = -O0 -DDEBUG -Wall GhcLibHcOpts = -O -fasm -XGenerics GhcLibWays = v dyn SplitObjs = NO Stage1Only = YES ``` -) downloaded the sourcecode of ncurses from ​ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/ncurses/ncurses_5.9.orig.tar.gz and builded it with "./configure arm-linux-gnueabihf --with-gcc=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf --prefix=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf " + "make". afterwards i added the folder to my $PATH -)did "perl boot", "./configure --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf --with-gcc=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --prefix=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf" and "make". ./configure worked, but make gives me this weird error. I also tried copying all included files from ncurses to the libraries/terminfo folder, but that also didn't work. I think the mistake is somewhere in the building process, but i'm not exactly sure, so thats why i'm posting this bug. I also tried getting the libncurses5-dev.deb and libtinfo-dev from my Raspberry pi with "apt-get download libncurses5-dev" and "apt-get download libncurses5-dev" and copied them to my i386, extracted them and added them to my $PATH Does anyone have an idea about how i can fix that problem with curses? PS: i also made sure that i met the prerequirements mentioned in ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Preparation/Linux and ​ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/CrossCompiling Edit: this is the log of my config.log: ` ``` configure:3400: checking for setupterm in -lcurses configure:3425: arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -o conftest -fno-stack-protector conftest.c -lcurses >&5 /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/../lib/libcurses.a when searching for -lcurses /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libcurses.a when searching for -lcurses /usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabihf/4.8/../../../../arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurses collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status configure:3425: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h */ | #define PACKAGE_NAME "Haskell terminfo package" | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "terminfo" | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "0.2" | #define PACKAGE_STRING "Haskell terminfo package 0.2" | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "judah dot jacobson at gmail dot com" | #define PACKAGE_URL "" | #define STDC_HEADERS 1 | #define HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H 1 | #define HAVE_SYS_STAT_H 1 | #define HAVE_STDLIB_H 1 | #define HAVE_STRING_H 1 | #define HAVE_MEMORY_H 1 | #define HAVE_STRINGS_H 1 | #define HAVE_INTTYPES_H 1 | #define HAVE_STDINT_H 1 | #define HAVE_UNISTD_H 1 | /* end confdefs.h. */ | | /* Override any GCC internal prototype to avoid an error. | Use char because int might match the return type of a GCC | builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ | #ifdef __cplusplus | extern "C" | #endif | char setupterm (); | int | main () | { | return setupterm (); | ; | return 0; | } configure:3434: result: no configure:3450: error: in `/home/edi/ghc_cross/ghc/libraries/terminfo': configure:3452: error: curses library not found, so this package cannot be built See "config.log" for more details ``` ` Greetings, Edi
