Re: [Ltib] Trying to link libtecla

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Bart,

It looks like the package is directly calling 'ld', this is unusual and 
the cause of not finding libncurses as only a few paths are wired into 
ld by default.

If possible you should change the build rule in the Makefile to call out 
   $(CC), which is more conventional when linking libraries. 
Alternatively you'll have to include a option and the make command line 
(usually LDFLAG or LD_EXTRAFLAGS or similar, look in the Makefile). 
Then you could say for example: 'make LDFLAGS="-L$DEV_IMAGE/usr/lib"

Regards, Stuart
