Cross compile ncurses for armv7

Question

I use arm-linux-gnueabihf cross-compiling ncurses,
An error occurred at the "make install" step

strip: Unable to recognise the format of the input file `/home/chumeng/cross_compile/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-tic'

Here's my steps

$ ./configure --prefix=/home/chumeng/cross_compile/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --with-shared --with-normal --without-debug --without-ada --enable-widec --enable-pc-files --with-cxx-binding --with-cxx-shared --enable-ext-colors --enable-ext-mouse --enable-overwrite
configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
    If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.
...a lot of "checking"

Answer 1

I referred to ./configure --help and added the --without-progs option, and then the compilation was successful.
