ncurses build options...
OK, here's what I think I've come up with:
ncurses-runtime:
shared libraries (in /lib)
looks for files first in /etc/terminfo then /usr/lib/terminfo
has linux as compiled in fall-back.
terminfo manipulation programs
man pages for the programs
small terminfo database in /etc/terminfo
includes ansi, dumb, linux, sun, vt52, vt100, vt102,
vt220, xterm
ncurses-developer:
static, debugging and profiling libraries (all in /usr/lib)
header files (in /usr/include/ncurses)
examples and documentation (including man pages
ncurese-terminals:
all of the terminals not in ncurses-runtime, installed in
/usr/lib/terminfo
I think this satisfies all the suggestions that have been made. Let me
know if you see anything wrong.
Mike.
