How to install Ncurses/Terminfo on your system
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--disable-root-access
Compile with environment restriction, so most file-access is limited
- when running via a setuid/setgid application.
+ when running as root, or via a setuid/setgid application.
--disable-root-environ
Compile with environment restriction, so certain environment variables
--enable-xmc-glitch
Compile-in support experimental xmc (magic cookie) code.
+ --with-abi-altered=NUM
+ Override the displayed (rather than compiled-in) ABI. Only packagers
+ who have created configurations where the ABI differs from ncurses
+ should be interested in this option.
+
--with-abi-version=NUM
Override the ABI version, which is used in shared library filenames.
Normally this is the same as the release version; some ports have
path. The configure script allows only a single directory, because
that is used as the directory in which to install ".pc" files.
- The automatic check for the library path selects the first directory
- which currently exists.
+ The automatic check for the library path prefers the first directory
+ which currently exists. If none of the directories listed by
+ pkg-config exist, the check prefers a pkgconfig directory under the
+ "libdir" set by the configure script (which may not be the system
+ default), or if pkg-config lists nothing suitable, the first one which
+ is listed by pkg-config is used.
+
+ Automatic selection is overridden by providing an option-value
+ beginning with "/".
+
+ If this option is omitted, the default directory for installing
+ ".pc" files is ${libdir}/pkgconfig
