How to install Ncurses/Terminfo on your system
---------------------------------------------------------------------
library by reducing global and static variables. This option is also
set if --with-pthread is used.
+ Enabling this option adds a "t" to the library names, except for the
+ special case when --enable-weak-symbols is also used.
+
--enable-rpath
Use rpath option when generating shared libraries, and (with some
restrictions) when linking the corresponding programs. This originally
reducing the need for juggling the global SP value with set_term() and
delscreen().
+ --enable-string-hacks
+ Controls whether strlcat and strlcpy may be used. The same issue
+ applies to OpenBSD's warnings about snprintf, noting that this function
+ is weakly standardized.
+
+ Aside from stifling these warnings, there is no functional improvement
+ in ncurses.
+
--enable-symlinks
If your system supports symbolic links, make tic use symbolic links
rather than hard links to save diskspace when writing aliases in the
executables, e.g., by setting "--with-chtype=long" (the configure
script supplies "unsigned").
+ --with-cxx-shared
+ When --with-shared is set, build libncurses++ as a shared library.
+ This implicitly relies upon building with gcc/g++, since other
+ compiler suites may have differences in the way shared libraries are
+ built. libtool by the way has similar limitations.
+
--with-database=XXX
Specify the terminfo source file to install. Usually you will wish
to install ncurses' default (misc/terminfo.src). Certain systems
