    You may notice that if you select the Minicom package in the LTIB configuration that your build fails. It seems LTIB cannot get the termcap package from the LTIB GPP anymore. It's uncertain if this a permanent situation. An alternate source for the package and patch is here:
    http://bitshrine.org/gpp/...mcap-mini-1.2.tar.gz
    http://bitshrine.org/gpp/...mcap-1.2-vt102.patch

    The wget utility may not work. Enter the links into your browser and download them into the LTIB-package-pool directory. Switch to that directory and create the MD5sum files like so:
    md5sum termcap-mini-1.2.tar.gz > termcap-mini-1.2.tar.gz.md5
    md5sum termcap-1.2-vt102.patch > termcap-1.2-vt102.patch.md5

    With the files now stored in the local repository LTIB should no longer attempt to download them and your build should proceed correctly.


    The two files are kept by the Application Support Team so if the links above are broken in the future please file a support ticket and they can be sent to you.

    Ken, 

    Please use these commands below to get access to the files listed earlier in this post. 

    $ wget http://bitshrine.org/gpp/...mcap-1.2-vt102.patch  
    $ wget http://bitshrine.org/gpp/...mcap-mini-1.2.tar.gz  
    $ md5sum termcap-1.2-vt102.patch > termcap-1.2-vt102.patch.md5   
    $ md5sum termcap-mini-1.2.tar.gz > termcap-mini-1.2.tar.gz.md5 

    Be sure to use the full file name in the first two commands.  The name displayed here is shorted by the forum editor with dots in the middle.

    If for whatever reason, these commands don't work for you I will also make the files available for download in my next post. 

    Regards,

    It failed. Maybe due to being behind a firewall or proxy.

    Ken,

    Any luck getting the wget working in your virtual machine?   

    Another option might be to try downloading a fresh virtual box machine from our support site so you can get the files you need.
