4<para><userinput>--with-shared:</userinput> This enables the build of the
5shared ncurses library files.</para>
6
7<para><userinput>--disable-termcap:</userinput> Disabled the compilation of
8termcap fall back support.</para>
9
10<para><userinput>cd /lib &amp;&amp; mv *.a /usr/lib :</userinput> This
11moves all of the static ncurses library files from /lib to /usr/lib.
12/lib should only contain the shared files which are essential to the
13system when /usr may not be mounted.</para>
14
15<para><userinput>chmod 755 *.5.2:</userinput> Shared libraries should be
16executable. Ncurses install routine doesn't set the permissions
17properly so we do it manaully instead.</para>
18
19<para><userinput>ln -sf libncurses.a libcurses.a:</userinput> Some
20programs try to link using -lcurses instead of -lncurses. This symlink
21ensures that they will install correctly.</para>
22
23<para><userinput>ln -sf ../../lib/libncurses.so:</userinput> This link
24is created because if it isn't, the linker will not find the dynamic
25library when linking and so link all programs with the static ncurses
26library.</para>
