Peter Korsgaard 162388a74d ncurses: disable terminfo database install for host-ncurses
Since commit b35ad5d0b4 (ncurses: make host-ncurses use host terminfo), we
are now pointing host-ncurses to the host terminfo (typically) located in
/usr/share/terminfo.

With this change we are reusing the existing host terminfo database, so
there is no point in trying to install our own on top.  The user running
buildroot typically will have no write access to /usr/share/terminfo, but
tic in that case falls back to writing the database to $HOME/.terminfo.
Neither of which are desirable.

In case $HOME/.terminfo also isn't writable, tic fails, breaking the install
step for host-ncurses:

** Building terminfo database, please wait...
Running sh ./shlib tic to install /usr/share/terminfo ...

        You may see messages regarding extended capabilities, e.g., AX.
        These are extended terminal capabilities which are compiled
        using
                tic -x
        If you have ncurses 4.2 applications, you should read the INSTALL
        document, and install the terminfo without the -x option.

"terminfo.tmp", line 21272, terminal 'v3220': /home/peko/.terminfo: permission denied (errno 30)

To fix all of this, simply disable the terminfo database install.

README

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
