A little question for anyone out there:<br>
<br>
The makefile for ncurses contains the following:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>ifneq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES_TARGET_HEADERS),y)<br>
NCURSES_CONF_OPT += --disable-static<br>
endif<br>
</blockquote>
but BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES_TARGET_HEADERS is no longer defined in the
ncurses' Config.in, this was removed in a change to using
BR2_HAVE_DEVFILES to decide to install headers in the target (see
commit 58508f3 by Peter Korsgaard).<br>
<br>
Now as a result of this ncurses is now always configured with
--disable-static, even when BR2_HAVE_DEVFILES is set to "y". <br>
<br>
So my question is should "--disable-stable" be added to
NCURSES_CONF_OPT:<br>
<ol>
<li>always,</li>
<li>never, or</li>
<li>when BR2_HAVE_DEVFILES is "y" (instead of using
BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES_TARGET_HEADERS).</li>
</ol>
<br>
Regards,<br>
