yocto-poky ncurses-native build failure

[sbt_miles1]

I'm trying to use the fsl-community-bsp to build an iMX28 EVK SDK but yocto/poky/OE is failing relatively early on in the host build.  ncurses-native install is failing with the following:

My host is Ubuntu 12.04.3.  I've searched for that error elsewhere and it seems I'm the first to come across it.  Anyone know how to coerce OE to proceed?  Or to roll back to an older ncurses?

Thanks!

This ended up being a parallel make problem.  When I forced conf/local.conf:PARALLEL_MAKE  to '-j 1' ncurses-native built fine.

That is pretty weird. DaianeAngolini have you faced any similar issue before?

[daiane_angolini]

No I haven't LeonardoSandovalGonzalez. Not that I could remember, at least.

sbt_miles, you could report this error to meta-oe mainling list, if you desire. Please, remember to say the branch you're using.

It's very weird as it's a native package and I'm sure it's a very-very-very commum one.

Other option would be a tmp mismatch. It's weird, as it looks like you have a first build so would not have an old tmp to get the mismatch from.

I rebuilt the ncurses-native package and noticed the following in the log.  I'm not sure if mawk is failing or running twice or what but it appears to not successfully create term.h.  This could be the start of the other failures moving forward.
