- <para><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-&ncurses-version;-patch:</userinput>
- This patch fixes a compile problem with GCC-3.2 because Ncurses uses
- constructions that are no longer valid in the new C++ standard.</para>
- <para><userinput>--with-shared:</userinput> This enables the build of the
- shared ncurses library files.</para>
- <para><userinput>mv /lib/*.a /usr/lib :</userinput> This
- moves all of the static ncurses library files from /lib to /usr/lib.
- /lib should only contain the shared files which are essential to the
- system when /usr may not be mounted.</para>
- <para><userinput>chmod 755 *.5.2:</userinput> Shared libraries should be
- executable. Ncurses install routine doesn't set the permissions
- properly so we do it manually instead.</para>
- <para><userinput>ln -sf libncurses.a libcurses.a:</userinput> Some
- programs try to link using -lcurses instead of -lncurses. This symlink
- ensures that such programs will link without errors.</para>
