[CMake] Trying to compile cmake with local copy of ncurses library

[Sohail Shafii]

Thanks. What it is apparently doing is including the argument: -I/home/***/local/include/ncurses. It should be -I/home/***/local/include.  I'm not sure why it generates the former during the bootstrap/configuration phase.


The problem variable is the following in the CMakeCache.txt file:
//The curses include path
CURSES_INCLUDE_PATH:FILEPATH=/home/***/local/include/ncurses

I had to remove "ncurses" from that line. Not a permanent solution because the bootstrap will just generate that line each time.  It compiles with this custom fix though.

When you encounter compile errors such as the above, run make VERBOSE=1 to see what the actual compiler commandline is. If that one is missing the path you think should be there and since your cmake is not built yet, I'd suggest to trace down how the include-dirs for ncurses end up being given to the target.
