I just setup a new box running RH7.2 and I am trying to compile kernel
2.4.18. I did a minimal install on this box as it is only going to function as a router. When I
initially did a 'make menuconfig' it gave me an error regarding ncurses
being missing. I installed ncurses, ncurses4, and ncurses-devel. Now when
I do a 'make menuconfig' I get the following output:
[root@localhost linux]# make menuconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog'
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DLOCALE
-I/usr/include/ncurses -DCURSES_LOC="<ncurses.h>" -c -o checklist.o
checklist.c
checklist.c: In function `dialog_checklist':
checklist.c:154: `TRUE' undeclared (first use in this function)
checklist.c:154: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
checklist.c:154: for each function it appears in.)
checklist.c:241: `FALSE' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[1]: *** [checklist.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog'
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
[root@localhost linux]#
Can anyone shed some light on what's going on. I could just use 'make
config' but it's so time consuming and on most of my boxes I upgrade
kernels quite often. Thanks in advance and i apologize if I'm looking in
the wrong place for solutions. -peel

Do you have perl installed?

TRUE should be defined in /usr/include/ncurses/ncurses.h, like this
/* XSI and SVr4 specify that curses implements 'bool'. However, C++ may also
* implement it. If so, we must use the C++ compiler's type to avoid conflict
* with other interfaces.
*/
#undef TRUE
#define TRUE 1
#undef FALSE
#define FALSE 0

Mine looks very similar to this. I'm not sure if you just snipped info or
if I need to change something to get it to work right. Here's the output:
/* XSI and SVr4 specify that curses implements 'bool'. However, C++ may also
* implement it. If so, we must use the C++ compiler's type to avoid conflict
*with other interfaces.
*
* A further complication is that <stdbool.h> may declare 'bool' to be a
* different type, such as an enum which is not necessarily compatible with
* C++. If we have <stdbool.h>, make 'bool' a macro, so users may #undef it.
* Otherwise, let it remain a typedef to avoid conflicts with other #define's.
* In either case, make a typedef for NCURSES_BOOL which can be used if needed
* from either C or C++.
*/
#ifdef SVR4_CURSES
#undef TRUE
#define TRUE 1
#undef FALSE
#define FALSE 0
#endif
Like I said everything else looks pretty much the same. I'm jus ttrying to
figure this out wihtout having to do any scewy upgrading on the system.
