#18675 closed defect (fixed)

ncursesw 5.7 hangs on distroot for arch ppc64

Reported by: anthony.c.smith@… Owned by: MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.8.0
Keywords: Cc:
Port: ncursesw

Description

When installing a 4-way universal build distroot hangs on ppc64 with the message:

You may see messages regarding extended capabilities, e.g., AX. These are extended terminal capabilities which are compiled using

tic -x

If you have ncurses 4.2 applications, you should read the INSTALL document, and install the terminfo without the -x option.

Built using Intel (Core 2 Duo)/Leopard using MacPorts r47435.

Bug report #18187 claims to fix this issue in r47312 but I am continuing to have the problem.

Command used: sudo port -v install ncursesw +universal

Bug report #18187 claims to fix this issue in r47312 but I am continuing to have the problem.

It turns out the claim was a little premature.

The problem was that in the destroot phase, a script looks for the program tic.
When not cross-compiling, it finds the version that was just build.
When cross-compiling, the script is smart enough not to try and instead finds /usr/bin/tic, which hangs.

#18187 claimed to fix the problem because, on the test machine, there was a previously installed ${prefix}/bin/tic which got the job done.

r47439 is an attempt to fix the problem.
Please let me know if it works.

Just tried to build with r47439 with no luck. Still stalling in the same spot.

Thanks for the quick turnaround.

I do not think the change has propagated to the rsync server yet.
Could you try again after "port cat ncursesw" reflects the change?

Sorry, I didn't realize I needed to wait for it to propagate. How long should the propagation take?

I am not sure of the setup, but based on my own experience, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to over an hour.
I just checked, and the update seems to have made it to the rsync server.

That did it. The issue is fixed.

Thanks for getting this resolved quickly. I was expecting to spend the next week on it.
