How to install Ncurses/Terminfo on your system
---------------------------------------------------------------------
to do this if the target compiler has unusual flags which confuse the
host compiler.
+ You can also set the environment variable $BUILD_CFLAGS rather than
+ use this option.
+
--with-build-cppflags=XXX
If cross-compiling, specify the host C preprocessor-flags. You might
need to do this if the target compiler has unusual flags which confuse
the host compiler.
+ You can also set the environment variable $BUILD_CPPFLAGS rather than
+ use this option.
+
--with-build-ldflags=XXX
If cross-compiling, specify the host linker-flags. You might need to
do this if the target linker has unusual flags which confuse the host
compiler.
+ You can also set the environment variable $BUILD_LDFLAGS rather than
+ use this option.
+
--with-build-libs=XXX
If cross-compiling, the host libraries. You might need to do this if
the target environment requires unusual libraries.
+ You can also set the environment variable $BUILD_LIBS rather than
+ use this option.
+
--with-caps=XXX
Specify an alternate terminfo capabilities file, which makes the
configure script look for "include/Caps.XXX". A few systems, e.g.,
may be unsigned. Use this option if you need to preserve compatibility
with 64-bit executables.
+ --with-normal
+ Generate normal (i.e., static) libraries (default).
+
+ Note: on Linux, the configure script will attempt to use the GPM
+ library via the dlsym() function call. Use --without-dlsym to disable
+ this feature, or --without-gpm, depending on whether you wish to use
+ GPM.
+
--with-ospeed=TYPE
Override type of ospeed variable, which is part of the termcap
compatibility interface. In termcap, this is a 'short', which works
those using termcap, do not use the higher speeds. Your application
(or system, in general) may or may not.
- --with-normal

--with-profile
Generate profile-libraries These are named by adding "_p" to the root,
e.g., libncurses_p.a
