Actually rpath is not a problem when running test/configure, but I

not get it to use the just compiled-but-not-yet-installed ncurses

the headers which is expected by the "--with-curses-dir" configure
option.
It would be good if this could be made to work, because the
simplistic
solution of just copying everything from obj/test has the drawback
that
cruft files like "Makefile" creep into the binary package. And we
can
only run "make install" in the test directory if we had run
test/configure before, see the recent discussion on bug-ncurses.
I've just implemented the latter, for today.
Thanks, this seems to work. However, I just discovered the next
missing
piece in the puzzle -- the tests themselves fail to build out of tree:
sorry - I keep overlooking that aspect (most of my builds are in-tree,
just because they're simpler to manage). Will fix...
Was the VPATH change to test/Makefile.in you made yesterday supposed to
fix the problem? It does not seem to help.
I tested it with a couple of configurations (which worked):
a) a subdirectory of "test"
This was a case that needed VPATH.
b) a completely different tree (for the whole ncurses tree).
c) an in-build-tree copy from the result of make_tar.sh
That reminded me about term_entry.h, fixed as well.
I didn't do an out-of-build-tree build for (c).
Alas, this is exactly what I want to do (not necessarily running
make_tar.sh before, though), and it does not work. :-(
yes - I assumed that you didn't want to use (c), but something like (a).
Referring to your email:
$ mkdir -p build && cd build && ../test/configure && make
I'd thought that (a) would match this case. But trying just that, I
see that I was mistaken:
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating ncurses_cfg.h
compiling background
gcc: background.c: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files
make: *** [../build/background.o] Error 1
(this is dragging on - I'll see if I have time today to address this)
done...
Bear in mind that the --with-curses-dir option needs an absolute pathname
(I did that with a `cd ..;pwd` for instance).
I checked the other configurations as well, don't see that I've broken
anything.
