acquire tools. Not all of the tools distributed with EMX work properly, and
some additional ones are required.
-First, the configure script distributed with ncurses will not run as-is in EMX.

You can generate a new one if you have autoconf built for EMX. You will need
the EMX development tools, of course. Get these programs to start:
Apply the autoconf patches from
- http://dickey.his.com/autoconf
- ftp://dickey.his.com/autoconf
+ https://invisible-island.net/autoconf
+ ftp://ftp.invisible-island.net/autoconf
These are ordered by date:
- autoconf-2.13-20000819.patch.gz
- autoconf-2.13-20000819-emx.patch.gz
+ autoconf-2.13-20030927.patch.gz
+ autoconf-2.13-20030927-emx.patch.gz
I built my development environment for ncurses using EMX 0.9c at the end of
1997. Much of the EMX patch for autoconf was done originally by J.J.G.Ripoll,
+ I also built from sources (because the distributed binaries did not
work) the cmp, diff programs.

Other required utilities such as ar, cat, chmod, cp, gawk, grep, mv,
ls, rm, mkdir, sed, sort and tr worked.
