I would say the latter.
In the present case, *much* simpler to fix dselect/main.cc than
to modify a standard ncurses header.
Definitely.
I already know that dpkg-1.0.17 compiles if I skip over
`dselect', so if replacing the
#include <term.h>
in dselect/main.cc with
extern "C" {
#include <term.h>
}
satisfies the linker, that should do it.
Right.
Ok, let me try that. ...
OK, with that change, `dpkg-1.0.17.tar.gz' compiles against stock
Debian `ncurses-developer-1.9.4-0.deb' ncurses headers.
Here it is as a unified diff:
