           Summary: alsa-utils link error because of ncurses version
                    difference between host and target
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: org.openembedded.dev
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: unspecified
        AssignedTo: openembedded-commits at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: conflatulence at gmail.com


alsa-utils_1.0.20 link failed because the linker couldn't find libtinfo.

Found while trying bitbake console-image for beagleboard, openembedded repo
version b05f2e625d7b00d7d610ea277275a03956804c8a, build/conf/local.conf has
distro angstrom-2008.1.

The problem seems to be that alsa-utils configure step runs my host machine's
ncurses5-config --libs, which returns "-lncurses -ltinfo" (host machine is F13,
ncurses version is 5.7.20100130) but the ncurses built for the beagle is
ncurses-5.4-r21.0 and doesn't provide libtinfo (only provides libncurses).

Removing -ltinfo using sed in alsa-utils_1.0.20.bb:do_configure_append()
allowed the link to succeed. Upping the ncurses version used by angstrom might
work but I don't know how to change the version.
