I don't know of any serious/unfixed bugs. Currently I'm working on the configure script for the Ada95 tree, to incorporate shared libraries there for the platforms that can support it. Once done with that, I have unfinished work for the MinGW port (to get the process for making DLLs working reliably, etc). Neither of those has any nasty problems. The ongoing changes in working in those areas are rather complicated though. > If instead you recommend I backport the individual fixes for -ldl and > -D_GNU_SOURCE, is there a public VCS for ncurses, or should I diff > tarballs to extra these? I can supply a copy of the weekly patches, if that helps. Mostly it's the configure script that you're interested in. -- Thomas E.
