NCURSES 1.8.6 - July 24, 1994
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
This file is intended to help people interested in working
|
|
on fixing ncurses, enhancing it, or porting it to other
|
|
platforms.
|
|
|
|
PORTABILITY:
|
|
The file matrix is an attempt at centralizing all portability
|
|
information. The top line lists the different options, down
|
|
the leftside are the operating systems supported. If an option
|
|
is not needed then it should have an entry of NONE. Note the
|
|
use of ':' to terminate each field. If somebody knows awk better
|
|
than me, get in touch.
|
|
|
|
OS: name of operating system
|
|
ISPOSIX: -DNONPOSIX if <unistd.h> is missing
|
|
POSIX: -DSTRICTPOSIX if _POSIX_SOURCE turns off non-POSIX features.
|
|
-DSVR4_ACTION if like svr4 you need _POSIX_SOURCE to have sigaction
|
|
TERMINAL: -DNOTERMIOS if you don't have <termios.h> but have <sgtty.h>
|
|
HEADERS: -DBRAINDEAD if system headers don't declare external variables
|
|
TABS: -DBSDTABS if you don't have TABS3 but have OXTABS
|
|
OPT: -DOPT_MVCUR if you want mvcur() to cost its actions or you have a
|
|
terminal that doesn't have direct cursor addressing.
|
|
SRCDIR: the directory where the terminfo database lives
|
|
CC: ANSI C compiler
|
|
FLAGS: standard compiler flags
|
|
EXTRA: extra flags needed by individual systems
|
|
Sun: -DSUNIOCTL <sys/ioctl.h> conflicts with <termios.h>
|
|
HP-UX: -D_HPUX_SOURCE so that we get POSIX and XOPEN features.
|
|
SVR4: -DBROKEN_TIOCGETWINSZ guess what?
|
|
AIX: -DSYS_SELECT if you need <sys/select.h>
|
|
BASE: The directory under which headers and libraries will
|
|
be installed.
|
|
INSTALL: The name of an install program similar to BSD's (ie. understands
|
|
-m, -g, -o, etc.) GNU install works.
|
|
|
|
The awk script in script.src reads matrix and generates all the Config.*
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
There are several problems with strict POSIX systems so extra flags
|
|
or #define's maybe needed.
