[zile-devel] Zile porting to an embedded Linux System

[Michael Herrmann]

Hello,

I am trying to port zile 2.0.2 to an embedded Linux System with an Denx 
Kernel 2.4. I compiled zile 
<http://dict.leo.org/se?lp=ende&p=/Mn4k.&search=successful>successfully 
with my cross compiler ppc_6xx-gcc. After that we copied the etc/zile 
binary to my target system and executed it. Zile was quitting with the 
message:

Could not access the termcap data base.
Trying to save modified buffers (if any)...

I think this is not an error of zile but an error of my ncurses. I read 
that the ncurses must have the version 5.4 but I use ncurses 5.2. Is 
that an problem, especially that causes the error message?

Do you have any experiances with that kind of using zile? Do you think 
it is in principle possible to use zile for this application?

I installed zile on my x86 host system and saw that the only 
dependencies for zile are the libncurses.so.5.4 (I have the 
libncurses.so.5.2). Is it adequate that this file is in the same 
directory as zile or in which place does zile await this library? Do I 
need more libraries?

I am very anxious for your answer and I hope you can help me.
