PTXdist Installation Error

Arumugam Ramasamy
Hi,
I am trying to install PTXdist 2013.6.0 version on a Ubuntu 12.04 machine.
After installing all the required packages as required by the PTXdist,
While giving ./configure command. it throws an error "Please specify the
location of the patch with the option '--with-patch'. Please help to
resolve this error and proceed with the installation.

Thanks,
Arumugam R

I noticed that Juergen has not answered this.  He is probably biking around
the countryside in the warm weather.

You might get more help here:

I only have the 2012.12.0 version as that is the latest PTXdist distro that
was used with the mini2440 BSP.

I notice that I have python 2.6 folder in /usr/local/lib which I think get
dragged in when you install PTXdist.  However, there are only two empty
folders in it.
 
Have you tried installing PTXdist 2012.12.0 ?
Are you in section 3.2.3 Prerequisities?

Arumugam,

you have to install the tool "patch" or "quilt" to make PTXdist happy.
PTXdist needs these tools to apply the required patches to make all the
packages cross compile.

Hi 
I am trying to install ptxdist.  Upto "./configure," it is ok. But "make"
gives the following error.

Pls suggets.

Juergen
Seems you only have a static (n)curses library around. In this case the
dependencies are missing.
Please provide a shared (n)curses library. It will come with its own
dependencies and will solve your problem.

Meher
how to do that?

Juergen
Hmm, by installing them? I assume you are using some kind of Linux
distribution. For example I'm using Debian an my libncurses is here:
"/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.5" and part of the package
"libncurses5-dev - developer's libraries for ncurses"
