FYI
I just completed porting tcsh 6.09.00 to Neutrino but I had some problems
with the port because the termcap library was not returning the correct
string
for the “ch” set horizontal position command which is invoked by the “tgoto”
procedure in the termcap library. I checked the /etc/termcap and it
determined
that the routine was producing a mangled version of the correct string.
Luckily, the package had a local set of termcap functions which worked
correctly…
Has anyone else had problems with this?
Bill
I think libtermcap is busted. Could you try using the termcap
functions in libncurses instead?

Hi Colin,
Luckily, the source had it’s own termcap code for which was ifdef’ed out…
the local routines work fine – I’ll try ncurses if I get time…
I was mostly putting out the info on this board so others wouldn’t struggle
unnecessarily and to verify that it was a known bug… 
BTW – since we can’t use dejaview to search these boards for how are
you guys planning to support historical searches? Or aren’t you?
How’s that documentation for generating our own packages coming?
Bill

Yeah.

Don’t you mean dejanews? ;v)

They’re working on a package builder util, not sure when it will
be released.
