Ncurses-6.2

Reference: 8.28. Ncurses-6.2. Fix the build system:

patch -Np1 -i ncurses-6.1-qlnx-220204.patch

The build will (perhaps) fail near the end by linking the tests for an actual unknown reason¹⁾. As we don't want to run it we disable building the tests:

sed -i 's|all:.*$|all:"|1' test/mk-test.awk

./configure --prefix=/qlnx \
            --includedir=/qlnx/inc \
            --datarootdir=/qlnx/dat \
            --mandir=/qlnx/man \
            --with-shared \
            --without-debug \
            --without-normal \
            --enable-pc-files \
            --enable-widec

make
make install

The next steps are similar to the book (beware the pkg-config dir is  /plng/lib/pkgconfig ):

for lib in ncurses form panel menu ; do
    rm -vf                    /qlnx/lib/lib${lib}.so
    echo "INPUT(-l${lib}w)" > /qlnx/lib/lib${lib}.so
    ln -sfv ${lib}w.pc        /plng/lib/pkgconfig/${lib}.pc
done

rm -vf                     /qlnx/lib/libcursesw.so
echo "INPUT(-lncursesw)" > /qlnx/lib/libcursesw.so
ln -sfv libncurses.so      /qlnx/lib/libcurses.so
