【转】Cannot find -ltinfo when compiling android 4.0.3

Question

Hi I have got a problem that I can‘t solve when compiling the android source for ICS. The build gets to a certain stage, then I get the message:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../libtinfo.so when searching for -ltinfo
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../libtinfo.a when searching for -ltinfo
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libtinfo.so when searching for -ltinfo
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libtinfo.a when searching for -ltinfo
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltinfo
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/adb_intermediates/adb] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

I have tried updating/installing libncurses5-dev and libtinfo-dev which were both latest versions and am a bit stuck now. How can I get rid of this to allow the build to happen properly?

I had seen similar issue with gingerbread when compiled on 64bit ubuntu. It got fixed with installation of lib32ncurses5-dev and its dependencies which includes lib32tinfo5-dev. The compiled host adb executable with android is a 32-bit executable.

This has sorted it, thanks. – fooforever Feb 6 ‘12 at 12:25 — fooforever, Feb 6 ‘12 at 12:25

I have seen same problem on my fedora 16 64bit, same android branch 4.0.3 r1 you might want to try ncurses-devel.i686 yum install ncurses-devel.i686

it solved my problem

I got this issue while I was building mysql statically. So I had to install the static versions of these libraries. For example I did run:

yum search ncurses

Then I installed,

yum install ncurses-static # not exactly the same syntax, but something similar; see searc
