ncurses from 6.4.20231021 enables "NCUSES_OPAQUE_MENU", which hides
some parts of the code away from the application. This causes
petitboot to fail building in a few spots where it tries to directly
access the name of the menu item.
Since the ncurses package was bumped to version 6.5.20250517 in
commit [0], petitboot is failing to build with error:
ui/ncurses/nc-menu.h: In function ‘pmenu_dump_item’:
ui/ncurses/nc-menu.h:129:47: error: invalid use of incomplete typedef ‘ITEM’ {aka ‘const struct tagITEM’}
129 | pb_debug("%p %s\n", item, (item ? item->name.str : "(null)"));
This commit fixes the issue by adding package patches.
These two patches were submitted to the petitboot mailing list by
Nicholas Piggin [1] resolve this issue using accessors, or by making a new item.
This has been raised upstream but not yet applied [2].

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 OFTC IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
