How to install Ncurses/Terminfo on your system
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--disable-tic-depends
When building shared libraries, normally the tic library is linked to
- depend upon the ncurses library (and in turn, on the term-library if
- the --with-termlib option was given). The tic- and term-libraries
- ABI does not depend on the --enable-widec option. Some packagers have
- used this to reduce the number of library files which are packaged
- by using only one copy of those libraries. To make this work properly,
