- Subject: [patch/rfc] Build TUI when curses
Hello,
This patch modifies GDB's build process so that the TUI code is built
when curses is available. Previously --enable-tui was also required.
With this patch:
./gdb -i=tui
will start up the TUI interface. That other post creates a program
called "tui" program that starts the TUI by default.
Comments? I'll look to also commit this round the 16th Feb.

* configure.in: Always check for curses. Enable TUI when curses
is available.
