Error on build cpp project in android studio in linux

Issue

I installed android sdk, platform and build tools and NDK in my ArchLinux to develop with android-studio and c++. I've created a simple "hello world program" just to start but it is not compiling. The error message on build returned by android studio is "A problem occurred configuring project ':app'. executing external native build for cmake /home/fabio/AndroidStudioProjects/HelloWorld/app/CMakeLists.txt"

On the CMakeError.log:

Determining if the C compiler works failed with the following output: Change Dir: /home/fabio/AndroidStudioProjects/HelloWorld/app/.externalNativeBuild/cmake/debug/armeabi/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp

Run Build Command:"/opt/android-sdk/cmake/3.6.3155560/bin/ninja" "cmTC_be251"

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

For the creation of the project, I just checked the option "Include c++ support" and started with a blank activity, changed no code then.

Edit
Tryied instlalling libtinfo as suggested in this thread but didn't worked.

Solution

I experienced the same issue. Quite many of the other distributions often have outdated packages. They still use ncurses 5 instead of ncurses 6 (libtinfo seems to belong to ncurses). Assuming, that the android ndk's version of clang was built on such a system, it was worth a try to use ncurses 5. From the Arch User Repositories I was able to install the latest version of ncurses5-compat-libs (and I also installed the 32bit version: lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs). This solved the problem for me. If you have it installed already, try reinstalling or updating it, if it is outdated.
