Hi all I'm learning to build ncurses-5.6 from sources (ie. outside of ports) on i386 FreeBSD 7.0 (RELENG_7). As the first step, I want to make sure I patch the ncurses-5.6.tar.gz correctly. Here is what I do: 1. Download ncurses-5.6.tar.gz from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ 2. Download patches from ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/5.6/ 3. Unpack tar xzf ncurses-5.6.tar.gz cd ncurses-5.6 4. Patch sh ../patch-5.6-20080621.sh patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-5.6-20080628.patch patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-5.6-20080705.patch patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-5.6-20080712.patch patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-5.6-20080713.patch patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-5.6-20080726.patch patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-5.6-20080804.patch 5. Post patch sed -i '' -e 's,$(INSTALL_PROG) ncurses-config,@INSTALL_SCRIPT@ ncurses-config,' misc/Makefile.in rm -rfv tack Ada95/src/terminal_interface-curses.adb mkinstalldirs Here are my questions: 1. Have I patched correctly? Are there anymore patches to apply or have I patch too much? 2. Are there anymore Post patch actions to be performed? Your help in this regard is very much appreciated and many thanks in advance. Kind regards Unga
