Re: [Ltib] Trouble adding new package in LTIB

[James E. Chargin Jr.]

Stuart,

Thanks for the information. My concern was with the size of termcap. 
Since you feel it is small, I have no objection to including it.

I did try adding --without-readline to the configure command line. This 
resulted in compile errors during the build of parted. I was in the 
midst of working on resolving these when your suggestion arrived and so 
I've decided to try it rather than having to end up modifying the source 
for parted to fix some implicit function declaration errors.

So, I've added "select PKG_TERMCAP" to packages.lkc. I've removed 
--without-readline from the configure command for parted. I've also made 
sure termcap is selected in LTIB.

Now, when I try to build parted, it has found termcap, but it is now 
looking for "GNU readline". Here is the output:

8--
checking for readline in -lreadline... no
configure: error: GNU Readline could not be found which is required for 
the --with-readline (which is enabled by default).  Either disable 
readline support with --without-readline or downloaded and install it from:
        ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline
Note: if you are using precompiled packages you will also need the 
development
package as well (which may be called readline-devel or something similar).

I have found evidence that there is already a readline in ltib. 
dist/lfs-5.1/readline/readline.spec exists (It list you as the Packager).

So now, what? Is there a way to have parted use the existing readline? 
Should I install GNU readline, and if so, how is this best done without 
disturbing the existing readline?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jim
