[gnuit-dev] Problems compiling gnuit-4.9.5 in Raspberry Pi 4 - still trying to find what options to use with ./configure

[mcook2]

Trying to compile gnuit on Raspberry Pi 4:

- running ./configure get ...
error msg: "configure: error: no library for handling terminal capabilities"
- run ... sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev
- ./configure complete
- make dies with ...

config.log shows the architecture selected by configure as:

    hostname = raspberrypi
    uname -m = armv7l
    uname -r = 4.9.35-v7+

lscpu shows:

    lscpu
    Architecture: armv7l
    Byte Order: Little Endian

     ....

    Flags: half thumb fastmult vfp edsp neon vfpv3 tls vfpv4 idiva idivt vfpd32 lpae evtstrm crc32

I plan to get back to a state prior to installing libncurses5-dev and libncursesw5-dev and retry.

I also have some local mods to gnuit code in panel.c and title.c which I can regress.

Continuing to work on it but if there is a quick fix please can you let me know. 

Thank you,
