SOLVED - Error while compiling ncurses about buildroot-qt-dev

[warhawk-avg]

Link above was incorrect for me
I found it by copying the text and not using the shortcut
https://github.com/chef/omnibus-software/blob/master/config/patches/ncurses/ncurses-5.9-gcc-5.patch

I touched a file in ~/buildroot/package/ncurses/ncurses-5.9-gcc-5.patch then pasted the text from the link in it and saved. Compiled cleanly.

Thanks a lot. It works! I used it for ncurses-5.9. Just two comments:

1. The link to the patch is down
2. The numbering has changed (about minus 20) and I had to change it by hand

This works for me too. Thanks so much.

Thanks! Finding this page saved me a lot of time.
I'm trying to recompile an old Buildroot archive of the kernel we use in our product, and this patch helped me deal with this bit rot in ncurses.

This helped me to compile ncurses 5.9 with --with-versioned-syms on our rhel machines to run swift without warnings
