Hi,

  I compiled minicom2.3 and ncurses lib in our blackfin uClinux-dist. But when I running the minicom in my bf527 board, I got below error message, what's the problem may be? Thanks!

root:/var> ./minicom -s

minicom: WARNING: configuration file not found, using defaults

No termcap entry for linux

root:/var> version

kernel:    Linux release 2.6.28.10-ADI-2009R1.1-svn1, build #147 Wed Mar 17 19:30:31 CST 2010

user-dist: release svn-1, build #141 Wed Mar 17 19:29:55 CST 2010

root:/var>

BTW, when I build ncurses lib, I got a compile message ,

done

I insert an -I before -e in the ncurses Makefile ,and pass the comile, I don't know if that was the resean.

the -I/-C error is because your host machine sucks apparently.  a simple 6MB malloc failed on it (see the big-core test in ncurses).

if ncurses isnt installing properly, then you cant really expect things to work on the board.

using -I or -C will not work.  fix your build system so that the big-core test passes.

Thanks! Can you tell me how to fix the big-core problem of my host? I'm using a Redhat Enterprise 4.1.  I gooled the internet, and find a option of --disable-big-core of ncures, how to make it work when we build the target?

install more ram or upgrade your distro or read the config.log in the host ncurses build dir to find out why it's failing

the problem isnt with the cross-compiling for the Blackfin target
