Cross compiling error while linking llvm-clang-tblgen/nbclang-tblgen

[adin]

I'm following the wiki http://wiki.minix3.org/doku.php?id=developersguide:crosscompiling

I executed the command

bash ./releasetools/x86_hdimage.sh

and obtained the error

After searching it seems to be an error related to lack of libraries. Several sites relate the error to lack of linking to -ltinfo or -ltermcap.

However the wiki doesn't explain how to pass other variables into the building script. Can anyone guide me on how to correctly do the cross compilation?

I tried with the master branch, and with the R3.3.0 branches, and both give the same error. The current ones are using R3.3.0.

I installed the per-requisites as indicated in the wiki. My system info:

(Shameless bump.)

Still trying to figure out the problem. Do the compile chain expect some version of the libraries? Maybe that is producing some error on the cross-compilation?

Ideas?
