I'm not sure if this is what your asking. But FMail has been available through git for a long time.
And a CMakeLists.txt is provided since early this year, so this is working since then:

# git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/fmail/code FMail
# cd FMail
# mkdir cmake-build
# cd cmake-build
# cmake ..
# make

(Provided you have the needed tools and libraries installed)


Bye, Wilfred.

That doesn't matter. It's a link problem, because it doesn't link to the right library file. cmake should take care of that if the right library file is present on your system.

CMakeLists.txt has these lines:

if (${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME} MATCHES "Linux")
target_link_libraries(fconfig ncurses)
endif ()

Maybe that is different on gentoo? Try removing the 'if' and 'endif' lines...

ok

It's a link problem, because it doesn't link to
the right library file.

could this be a prefix problem ?, if it compiles and installed it would on gentoo be with prefix of /usr/local, while all ebuilds is in /usr, is linker libs search only in /usr/local/lib64 or both /usr/local/lib64 and /usr/lib64 in that order ?

cmake should take care of that if the right
library file is present on your system.

CMakeLists.txt has these lines:

if (${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME} MATCHES "Linux")
target_link_libraries(fconfig ncurses)
endif ()

i tryed it, it did not help

Maybe that is different on gentoo? Try removing the 'if' and 'endif' lines...

what are your own output from linked elfs from fmail ftools fconfig ?, this will revail where ncurses is installed, next i think og is what ncurses version have you ?

my /usr/local/lib64 is empty, so here only libs installed from emerges, maybe i just need to install ncurses as non root user, just like fmail is ?, will it make sense ?

I don't know about gentoo, but cmake should take care automatically of such issues. Was there anything in the cmake output?
Maybe cmake isn't configured right?

would it be possible to test ncurses 6.4 on your install ?

ncurses 5.9 is no longer in gentoo

i can provide a linode gentoo vps if that helps, with root access if needed :=)

Nah, it's too old. And there is no package available.

ncurses 5.9 is no longer in gentoo

i can provide a linode gentoo vps if that helps, with root access if needed

I could try, if it's not too much work to familiarize myself with gentoo...

upgrade ncurses on your own linux will properly break everything ?

and you learned nothing by not trying

for the simplest run of gentoo is to get systemresquecd iso and burn it into a usb stick with rufus, now boot this and you have gentoo

its on sf.net
