compile error after adding applets

[walter harms]

Hi jyson,
you are trying to create an applet, right ?
your applet needs libncurses. You do not ship ncurses because its to
large for your floppy.
When linking the applet ld complains about not finding:
mvwprintw, right.

You use functions located in libncurses since you do not provide
ncurses, you can not link (or use it). So whats the problem ?
there are some older linux-floppy distributions out there (e.g.
mulinux). take a look at them. busybox can and will not provide a
libncurses replacement, sorry.
(perhaps using a shell script will help you out).

re,
 walter
