6<para>First fix two tiny bugs:</para>
7
8<para><screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-&ncurses-version;-etip-2.patch
9patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-&ncurses-version;-vsscanf.patch</userinput></screen></para>
10
11<para>The first patch corrects the <filename>etip.h</filename> header file, and
12the second patch prevents some compiler warnings on the use of deprecated
13headers.</para>
14
15<para>Now prepare Ncurses for compilation:</para>
16
17<para><screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --with-shared \
18&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;--without-debug</userinput></screen></para>
19
20<para>Compile the package:</para>
21
22<para><screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen></para>
23
24<para>Install the package:</para>
25
26<para><screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen></para>
27
28<para>Give the Ncurses libraries execute permissions:</para>
29
30<para><screen><userinput>chmod 755 /usr/lib/*.&ncurses-version;</userinput></screen></para>
31
32<para>And fix a library that shouldn't be executable:</para>
33
34<para><screen><userinput>chmod 644 /usr/lib/libncurses++.a</userinput></screen></para>
35
36<para>Move the libraries to the <filename>/lib</filename> directory,
37where they're expected to reside:</para>
38
39<para><screen><userinput>mv /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5* /lib</userinput></screen></para>
40
41<para>Since the libraries have been moved to
42<filename>/lib</filename>, a few symlinks are currently pointing
43towards non-existing files. Recreate those symlinks:</para>
44
45<para><screen><userinput>ln -sf ../../lib/libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libncurses.so
46ln -sf libncurses.so /usr/lib/libcurses.so</userinput></screen></para>
