ncurses and ncurses-dev

[robc]

ncurses is missing libtermcap, this just needs to be a link to libncurses:

Code: [Select]

sudo ln -s libncurses.so /usr/local/lib/libtermcap.so
ncurses-dev has its startup script named ncurses so it does run if ncurses-dev is installed after ncurses. Also the current ncurses-dev startup script manually links every header and static lib in /usr/local from ncurses to /usr/lib. Couldn't this be done with:

Code: [Select]

cp -as /tmp/tcloop/ncurses-dev/usr/local/include /usr
cp -as /tmp/tcloop/ncurses-dev/usr/local/lib /usror include the links in the extension itself?

Edit: ncurses-dev startup script does not run, forgot the not

Thanks for feedback, will take care.

Code: [Select]

cp -as /tmp/tcloop/ncurses-dev/usr/local/include /usr
cp -as /tmp/tcloop/ncurses-dev/usr/local/lib /usr

Just a technical note, your solution expects mounted extension and doesn't work when copied to RAM.

or include the links in the extension itself?

No, if you want to keep it PPI compatible.

Good point, it looks like the startup scripts are ran after the extension has unmounted in a copy to RAM setup.
