I’m trying to compile a kotlin project with jdk11 but I’m receiving this error:

> Task :common:linkTestDebugExecutableNativeAndroidArm32 FAILED
/root/.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 /root/.konan/dependencies/clang-llvm-6.0.1-linux-x86-64/bin/llvm-lto command returned non-zero exit code: 127.

Does someone knows how to fix this? The library libtinfo.so.5 is missing.

It looks like this could be related with ncurses. Some people suggested to install this package yum install ncurses-compat-libs but I don’t know which package I should install when using debian.

Try using JDK 8 or Java 9.

If that doesn't work try #C3SGXARS6 🙂

With jdk8 it is working, but I was wondering to use the jdk11 to keep things updated.

[GarouDan]

It looks like I have the libtinfo.so.6 but not the libtinfo.so.5 one.

Hmm, currently it says https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES.md#compatibility-and-features but soon it will be https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/blob/rel_notes/RELEASE_NOTES.md#compatibility-and-features

Although I don't know if jdk11 is explicitly unsupported. 🤷🏼

[GarouDan]

Ok, thanks 😃

[GarouDan]

Oh, it building with jdk11. After I installed the libncurses5 in the docker container it worked 😃

Sweet!
