[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi Bruce and -toolchain@! Are there any pitfalls foreseen with replacing LIBCURSES with LIBNCURSES and removing LIBCURSES from bsd.libnames.mk? While investigating "make checkdpadd” errors for PR 192762 ( https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192762 ), I noticed that some of the Makefiles referenced LIBCURSES* while the bulk majority referenced LIBNCURSES*. libcurses* is symlinked to libncurses* though: # ls -l /usr/lib/libcurses* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12 Aug 16 19:08 /usr/lib/libcurses.a -> libncurses.a lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Aug 16 19:08 /usr/lib/libcurses.so -> libncurses.so lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Aug 16 19:08 /usr/lib/libcursesw.a -> libncursesw.a lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14 Aug 16 19:08 /usr/lib/libcursesw.so -> libncursesw.so I don’t have a full history for why there’s a discrepancy between the two because it predates me (I assume it has to deal with moving from BSD curses to ncurses though...), but LIBCURSES has been around for quite a while ( http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/share/mk/bsd.prog.mk?annotate=1639&pathrev=18052 ).
