Subject: ncurses 6.0 - patch 20171209
X-Git-Tag: v6.1~8
X-Git-Url: https://ncurses.scripts.mit.edu/?p=ncurses.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=86b16a498d6d545c03dceff7636d269eb7eb1e8f

ncurses 6.0 - patch 20171209

+ modify misc/ncurses-config.in to make output with --includedir
  consistent with --cflags, i.e., when --disable-overwrite option was
  configured the output should show the subdirectory where headers
  are.
+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to suppress macros when calling an "implemented"
  function in link_test.c
+ updated ftp-url used in test-packages, etc.
+ modify order of -pie/-shared options in configure script in case
  LDFLAGS uses "-pie", working around a defect or limitation in the GNU
  linker (prompted by patch by Yogesh Prasad, forwarded by Jay Shah).
+ add entry in man_db.renames for user_caps.5

+	+ modify misc/ncurses-config.in to make output with --includedir
+	  consistent with --cflags, i.e., when --disable-overwrite option was
+	  configured the output should show the subdirectory where headers
+	  are.
+	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to suppress macros when calling an "implemented"
+	  function in link_test.c
+	+ updated ftp-url used in test-packages, etc.
+	+ modify order of -pie/-shared options in configure script in case
+	  LDFLAGS uses "-pie", working around a defect or limitation in the GNU
+	  linker (prompted by patch by Yogesh Prasad, forwarded by Jay Shah).
+	+ add entry in man_db.renames for user_caps.5
+
 20171125
 	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid tracing result from getstr/getnstr
 	  before initialized.
