The other > two defines seems correct. Indeed, the 3 lines added to ncurses_cfg.h in e402155 (2024-06-20) to "reinstantiate bsd specific code": > #define USE_GETCAP 1 > #define USE_BSD_TPUTS 1 > #define HAVE_BSD_CGETENT 1 had all been removed a few hours earlier in 2181799 when importing version 6.5, having previously been present since libtinfo was split from libncurses in 396851c (2021-10-04) ... except that USE_BSD_TPUTS is clearly a typo for the removed BSD_TPUTS. Easy to do immediately after typing USE_GETCAP! The other 2 are correct. See the file history at https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commits/main/lib/ncurses/tinfo/ncurses_cfg.h This is not specific to ncurses-6.5, it's been BSD_TPUTS (and also USE_GETCAP and HAVE_BSD_CGETENT) for over 25 years in https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commits/main/contrib/ncurses/include/ncurses_defs That Nethack functionality is referenced in the ncurses source at https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/contrib/ncurses/ncurses/tinfo/lib_tputs.c > 336 #if BSD_TPUTS > 337 /* > 338 * This ugly kluge deals with the fact that some ancient BSD programs > 339 * (like nethack) actually do the likes of tputs("50") to get delays. > 330 */ > ... So in ncurses_cfg.h it should definitely be > #define BSD_TPUTS 1 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
