LDFLAGS for Visual Studio C++ configuration + (discussion with "Maarten Anonymous"). + + modify MKkey_defs.sh to hide ncurses' definition of KEY_EVENTS to + reduce Visual Studio C++ redefinition

Visual + Studio C++. + + define NCURSES_STATIC when compiling programs to link with static + libraries, to work with MinGW vs Visual Studio C++. + > additional changes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2 + (reports/patches by "Maarten Anonymous") + + modify c++/Makefile.in to set the current directory while compiling + the main program, so the linker can find related objects. + + several changes to allow the c++/demo program to compile/link. + + change an ifdef in test-directory, to use VC++ wide-character funcs. + +20200711 + + fix pound-sign mapping in acsc of linux2.6 entry (report by Ingo + Bruckl). + + additional changes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2 + (reports/patches by "Maarten Anonymous") + + build-improvements for Windows 10 and MinGW (patch by Juergen +

integration with + gprbuild. + + correct buffer-length in test/color_name.h + +20200613 + + update list of functions in ncurses.3x + + move dlclose() call from lib_mouse.c to delscreen() to avoid a case + in the former which could be called from SIGTSTP handler (Debian + #961097). + +20200606 + + add xterm+256color2, xterm+88color2, to deprecate nonstandard usage + in xterm+256color,

--enable-bsdpad + is configured (report/patch by Hiltjo Posthuma). + + add --disable-pkg-ldflags to suppress EXTRA_LDFLAGS from the + generated pkg-config and ncurses*-config files, to simplify + configuring in the case where rpath is used but the packager wants + to hide the feature (report by Michael Stapelberg). + > fixes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2 (patches by + "Maarten
