Description Chris Piro 2002-04-17 20:56:18 UTC

When compiling edb (tools/edb_vt_ed specifically), gcc complains about
unresolved symbols that should be provided by libncurses.  It's not looking in
/lib.  The attached patch is a quick fix (but I don't think its the solution).

Chris

Sorry I haven't included any error output from the compiler; I remerged w/ the
patched source and my term's buffer isn't long enough.

Question, did you mayhap use gcc3 ?

Comment 3 Chris Piro 2002-04-21 21:43:29 UTC

HA! I can't believe i forgot to mention i was using gcc3 :)
But is that the problem?  I'm afraid I don't understand gcc2 v. gcc3 enough to
realize why.

Yes, its related to a header change in the new version of ncurses that comes
along with gcc3 profile.
