Bug#1331: terminfo(3ncurses) says <term.h>, but nonexistent



Package: ncurses-developer
Version: 1.9.3-1

>From terminfo(3ncurses):

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curses.h>
       #include <term.h>

However,

chiark:~> find /usr/include -name term.h -ls
 27761   30 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root        30664 Jul 21 05:23 /usr/include/ncurses/term.h
  4082   29 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root        28894 Jan 21  1995 /usr/include/ncurses-broken/term.h
chiark:~>

(ncurses-broken is not relevant here.)

The manpage for ncurses(3ncurses) doesn't say that you have to use
-I/usr/include/ncurses (and indeed, one should not need to).

I suggest the addition of a symlink:
root@chiark:~> cd /usr/include/
root@chiark:include> ln -s ncurses/term.h .
root@chiark:include>

Ian.
