Compilation error for ncurses-5.2

[dsavard@…]

I am getting the following compile error for ncurses-5.2:

cd ../obj_s; c++ -I../c++ -I../include -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DNDEBUG -I. -I../include -O2 -fPIC -c ../c++/cursesw.cc ../c++/cursesw.cc: In member function `int NCursesWindow::scanw(const char*,

...)':

../c++/cursesw.cc:55: no matching function for call to

`std::strstreambuf::vscan(const char*&, void*&)'

../c++/cursesw.cc: In member function `int NCursesWindow::scanw(int, int, const

char*, ...)':

../c++/cursesw.cc:77: no matching function for call to

`std::strstreambuf::vscan(const char*&, void*&)'

make[1]: * obj_s/cursesw.o Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/cids/BUILD/ncurses-5.2/c++' make: * [all] Error 2

Of course, this happen while performing the make from Book part II section 6. All previous steps where performed successfully. So, what is missing?

which gcc version did you install in chapter 5? This sounds like an error that occurs when you use gcc-3.x instead of 2.95.3

ncurses-5.2 doesn't compile with gcc-3.x. You need to apply a patch to ncurses which can be found at ​http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~gimli .
