Kotlin-native: Add compatibility with ncurses6

Created on 16 Feb 2019 · 13Comments · Source: JetBrains/kotlin-native

I was trying to build a kotlin mpp project in a docker container with circleci and the build wasn't passing because of the ncurses lib. I was receiving the following error:

> Task :common:linkTestDebugExecutableNativeAndroidArm32 FAILED
/home/gradle/.konan/dependencies/clang-llvm-6.0.1-linux-x86-64/bin/llvm-lto: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
error: compilation failed: The /home/gradle/.konan/dependencies/clang-llvm-6.0.1-linux-x86-64/bin/llvm-lto command returned non-zero exit code: 127.

but I was able to fix the problem with a script like this one, where I install the libncurses5 package.

Luckily it is building with jdk11 =)

version: 2
jobs:
  linux:
    docker:
      - image: gradle:4.10.3-jdk11
        user: root
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run: apt-get update && apt-get install libncurses5 -y
      - run: gradle --version
      - run: gradle clean build --stacktrace --warning-mode all

We consider this issue important enough, but don't have any particular ETA.

Thanks for the report!
We will remove dependency on curses library with the next update of our LLVM toolchain.

@sbogolepov, good to know. Thank you =)

Similar issue on Fedora 30:

/home/user/.konan/dependencies/clang-llvm-6.0.1-linux-x86-64/bin/clang++: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Fixed with:

sudo dnf install ncurses-compat-libs

Ditto for Clear Linux. The error message is the same as Fedora 30 above, and the fix is similar:

sudo swupd bundle-add compat-common

Ditto for Alpine, although there doesn't seem to be a solution. Even symlinking libtinfo.so.5 to installed ncurses libs doesn't help. Solus ships with a symlink from libncursesw.so.5.9 to libtinfo.so.5, so the issue doesn't exist there.

This is still an issue, even when using 1.3.60, which contains a LLVM update to LLVM 8.0. Any word on a potential fix?

Are there any updates on this issue?
We are now at Konan: 1.3.70 / Kotlin: 1.3.70 and this is still an issue!?

This isn't even the only major compatibility issue with Linux, @Louis9902. I discovered recently that K/N is entirely incompatible with distributions that don't use glibc for their libc implementation (like alpine, for example).

Still an issue. Just upgraded IntelliJ today and started a plain default Kotlin-Native/Gradle project (like it is offered in IntelliJ, without any further changes).

I am running Debian Buster and installing libncurses5 resolved the issue. But, that's a very old dependency and in the oldlibs category in Debian. Should definitely see an upgrade!

Running gradle build clean befor installing libncurses5 gave me this:

Archlinux. Fixed this trouble via installing of the AUR package. However, it's definitely not a way to solve this trouble.

Confirming that this issue still exists on Ubuntu 20.04.1 with Kotlin 1.4.10. The default Kotlin native project generated by IntelliJ fails to build with libncurses6 installed. It gives me the same error as this.

Installing libncurses5, libncursesw5 and libtinfo5 fixed it.
