| 21 | <para>The first patch corrects the <filename>etip.h</filename> header file, and

| 22 | the second patch prevents some compiler warnings on the use of deprecated
|

| 23 | headers.</para>
|

| 24 |
|

| 25 | <para>Now prepare Ncurses for compilation:</para>

| 51 | <para>Since the libraries have been moved to
|
---|
| 52 | <filename>/lib</filename>, a few symlinks are currently pointing

| 53 | towards non-existing files. Recreate those symlinks:</para>
