Building kc master: ./.libs/libmapi.so: undefined reference to `KC::ECLocale::

My entry looks different:

ncurses libs    :       -lncursesw

If I manually add -ltinfo to NCURSES_LIBS = in Makefile, it builds.

What does the following commands give you?

11:02:47 bo@bo-suse ~/src/kopanocore (master) > ncursesw5-config --libs
-lncursesw -ltinfo
11:02:50 bo@bo-suse ~/src/kopanocore (master) > ncursesw6-config --libs
-L/usr/lib64/ncurses6 -lncursesw -ltinfo

Assume not the same as mine?

Yes, just -lncursesw

[tadao@ando kopanocore]# ncursesw5-config --libs
-lncursesw
[tadao@ando kopanocore]# ncursesw6-config --libs
-bash: ncursesw6-config: Kommando nicht gefunden.

“Kommando nicht gefunden” ~ command not found ;-)

Yeah that’s the problem. But it used to work?

Yes, used to work 2 days ago.

My findings:
libncurses links against libltinfo. If we don’t/ can’t explicitely specify this dependancy, newer toolchains can be called with ld-flag --copy-dt-needed-entries. As stated here, implicitely satisfying deep-link dependencies is no longer default behaviour for ld. The above flag forces this behaviour.

With option LDFLAGS = -Xlinker --copy-dt-needed-entries in Makefile, the dependency is correctly resolved, again.
Atleast valid for gcc version 6.2.1 20160916 (Red Hat 6.2.1-3) (GCC)

I looked for commits related to configure.ac, but couldn’t find anything that changed that. Did you get any updates from your distribution?

Nothing obvious - since 14.03.:

MariaDB-xxx,
php71,
perl-XML-LibXML,
perl-Test-Harness

That’s wierd, I will create a JIRA ticket to investigate.

long ago but for reference: fixed upstream. https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6668

Hi @mkromer ,
thanks - read that, too, but though differently stated in the rel-notes of ncurses-5.7-4.20090207.el6, we still get:

[hias@wurzler kopano-core]# ncurses5-config --libs
-lncurses

[hias@wurzler kopano-core]# ncursesw5-config --libs
-lncursesw

[hias@wurzler kopano-core]# pkg-config ncurses --libs
-lncurses

[hias@wurzler kopano-core]# ncurses5-config --version
5.7.20090207

A working fix is switching to ncurses-header instead of curses.h in configure.ac:

AC_CHECK_HEADERS([ncurses.h])
versus
AC_CHECK_HEADERS([curses.h])
