No libncursesS.a ???

I’m trying to build the PERL Curses interaction library found on CPAN.

I need to statically link the Curses library into a dynamically loadable .so
file. According to the docs, I need a “position-independent” version of the
static library (compiled with the -shared switch). I cannot, however, seem
to find this version of the Curses lib (I’m expecting to find
libncursesS.a).

Please help.

We don’t ship a shared ncurses. I’ve put a version on my web page
for you (it includes libncurses.so and libncursesS.a)

Oh gee! Quite a bit above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you very
much, Colin.

Now if he just would go back to his port of KDE so I can ship that beer
up to Kanata :slight_smile:

The port is waiting on a few things to be cleaned up (out of my control,
but almost there.)

Also, nobody has shipped me a Quad 1GHz Xeon system yet. This would
dramatically speed up progress! ;v)
