[Alsa-user] Problem about cross-compiling alsa-utils

[<jj...@nu...>]

Hi all,

I can't cross compile alsa-utils for arm-linux platform.

My configure options:
LD=arm-linux-ld ./configure --prefix=/work/alsa-utils/utils --with-alsa-prefix=/work/alsa/lib --with-alsa-inc-prefix=/work/alsa/include --host=arm-linux     --build=i686-linux --disable-nls

The configuration process fails with the following error messages:

.....
checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /bin/grep
checking for egrep... /bin/grep -E
checking for ANSI C header files... yes
checking for ncurses5-config... yes
checking for curses library... ncurses
checking for curses header name... <ncurses.h>

configure: error: required curses helper header not found


It seems that the configuration is trying to using ncurses.h on the build machine. However, it should use the ncurses.h header file in my cross-compiled ncurse library.
How can I "force" the configuration to use the cross-compiled ncurse library and headers? Should I set "--with-curses" option? If so, how to set it?
