Static linking with -lncurses fails if you need symbols from libtinfo:
,----
| $ cat foo.c
| #include <term.h>
| #include <stdlib.h>
|
| int main(void)
| {
| return tgetent(NULL, "");
| }
| $ LANG=C gcc foo.c -lncurses -static
| /tmp/ccRe0RW2.o: In function `main':
| foo.c:(.text+0x19): undefined reference to `tgetent'
| collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
`----
This makes zsh and possibly a few other packages FTBFS.
So maybe we need to "append" each libtinfo.a to libncurses{,w}.a, like
this:
ar xo libtinfo.a && ar sr libncurses.a *.o && rm -f *.o
Any less ugly ideas?
If zsh used pkg-config, it could use today's update (ncurses patch)
pkg-config --static --libs ncurses
That's one path forward...
But most of your FTBFS's will be only looking for "-lncurses", not
supposing that tgetent would be in another library.
