16 | <para>First fix two tiny bugs:</para>

17 |
|

18 | <screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../&ncurses-etip-patch;
|
---|
19 | patch -Np1 -i ../&ncurses-vsscanf-patch;</userinput></screen>
|
---|
20 |
|
---|
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>
|
---|
26 |
|
---|
27 | <screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --with-shared \
|
---|
28 | --without-debug</userinput></screen>
|

29 |
|
---|
30 | <para>Compile the package:</para>
|
---|
31 |
|
---|
32 | <screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>
|

33 |
|
---|
34 | <para>Install the package:</para>
|

35 |
|

36 | <screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>

38 | <para>Give the Ncurses libraries execute permissions:</para>
|
---|
39 |
|
---|
40 | <screen><userinput>chmod 755 /usr/lib/*.&ncurses-version;</userinput></screen>
|
---|
41 |
|
---|
42 | <para>And fix a library that shouldn't be executable:</para>
|
---|
43 |
|
---|
44 | <screen><userinput>chmod 644 /usr/lib/libncurses++.a</userinput></screen>
|
---|
45 |
|
---|
46 | <para>Move the libraries to the <filename>/lib</filename> directory,
|
---|
47 | where they're expected to reside:</para>
|
---|
48 |
|
---|
49 | <screen><userinput>mv /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5* /lib</userinput></screen>
|
---|
50 |
|
---|
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>
|
---|
54 |
|
---|
55 | <screen><userinput>ln -sf ../../lib/libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libncurses.so
|
---|
56 | ln -sf libncurses.so /usr/lib/libcurses.so</userinput></screen>
