netbsd-curses

  • Try to link against terminfo alone without curses if doable; oksh and bash, use only terminfo for what they need?
  • Sabotage does not recommend adding a libtinfo symlink to either libncurses or libterminfo and suggests using LDFLAGS="-lcurses -lterminfo" ./configure instead; some packages link against libtinfo like util-linux and yash
  • Attempts to run cross-compiled tic (and nbperf) on the build system:
    • unset HOSTCC; does not work if host clang is being used with --target and --sysroot to cross-compile the rest of netbsd-curses
    • or set HOSTCC=gcc if you are using clang and the host is using gcc; easiest as host gcc is not a cross-compiler by default
    • or remove --target and --sysroot from CFLAGS if using host clang
