Re: apparent ncurses lib linking problem



Yes I do have the ncurses files, I just listed the "curses", but for both I have:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 dev1 None     12 Sep  3 10:35 libcurses.a -> libncurses.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 dev1 None     16 Sep  3 10:35 libcurses.dll.a -> libncurses.dll.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 dev1 root 124594 Mar 27 14:21 libncurses++.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 dev1 root 175426 Mar 27 14:21 libncurses++.dll.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 dev1 root   1031 Mar 27 14:21 libncurses++.la
-rw-r--r-- 1 dev1 root 291542 Mar 27 14:20 libncurses.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 dev1 root 335738 Mar 27 14:20 libncurses.dll.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 dev1 root    937 Mar 27 14:21 libncurses.la


in /bin I have: 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 djtm root  67584 Mar  1  2009 /bin/cygncurses++-8.dll
-rwxr-xr-x 1 djtm root 341504 Mar 27 14:25 /bin/cygncurses++-9.dll
-rwxr-xr-x 1 djtm root 242176 Mar  1  2009 /bin/cygncurses-8.dll
-rwxr-xr-x 1 djtm root 167936 Mar 27 14:25 /bin/cygncurses-9.dll
-rwxr-xr-x 1 djtm root 229376 Aug  9  2003 /bin/cygncurses7.dll
-rwxr-xr-x 1 djtm root   5209 Mar 27 14:21 /bin/ncurses9-config


Is it possible that the varible declared in the downloaded  .a file
does not match its corresonding name or location representation in the .dll file?
