Summary: 2.0b2 curses module fails to build on SGI
Details: I didn't see this in the database.
Trying to build 2.0b2 here on SGI IRIX 6.5. I have this
line in Setup:
_curses _cursesmodule.c -lcurses -ltermcap
This used to work on 1.5.2 on IRIX 6.5, but it doesn't with 2.0b2.
Here is a digested version of the errors:
cc -n32 -O -KPIC -I./../Include -I.. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./_cursesmodule.c
...

I don't know, but I think this may be caused by IRIX having an old, incompatible version of curses. So it probably won't work. Too bad. You may be able to get a different curses implementation (there must be a free one that comes with Linux???).

Eric, can you look at this today?

Comment:
A quick grep reveals Sun Solaris 7 doesn't have them either.
If the intent is to break with standard curses, to avoid confusion it might be best to rename the module from curses to "linux_curses" or "ncurses" (if that's the appropriate curses variety).
Thanks,
