ncurses update pending? (was: Re: library `/usr/lib/libncurses.la' was moved.)

Hi,

Getting this warning:

libtool: link: warning: library `/usr/lib/libncurses.la' was moved.

$ cat /usr/lib/libncurses.la

libdir='/usr/src/ncurses/ncurses-5.4/.inst/usr/lib'



Hmm....sorry I missed that. ncurses is weird; it uses libtool but not automake, so DESTDIR installs are tricky. I'll try to roll a new release next week sometime. In the meantime, just change the line to
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                              hear, hear.

the obvious


libdir='/usr/lib'


You'll also need to change "dependency_libs" as well -- and these modifications go for all of the ncurses .la files:

libpanel.la
libmenu.la
libform.la
libncurses.la
libncurses++.la


It is not really a problem since the linker finds the libraries anyway, maybe just the generated .la files are wrong though.

Well, it is a problem when building PHP because they use thier own special system:

libtool: link: warning: library `/usr/lib/libpanel.la' was moved.
grep: /usr/src/ncurses/ncurses-5.4/.inst/usr/lib/libncurses.la: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/sed: can't read /usr/src/ncurses/ncurses-5.4/.inst/usr/lib/libncurses.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/src/ncurses/ncurses-5.4/.inst/usr/lib/libncurses.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make: *** [ext/ncurses/ncurses.la] Error 1

this should fix all those .la's:

was missing a /usr, this is better:


zcat /etc/setup/libncurses-devel.lst.gz | grep "\.la$" | \
  (cd /; xargs perl -pi.orig \
   -e 's|/usr/src/ncurses/ncurses-5.4/.build/lib|/usr/lib|g; \
    s|/usr/src/ncurses/ncurses-5.4/.inst/usr/lib|/usr/lib|g' )
