Description Horst H. von Brand 2008-03-06 18:19:31 UTC

Description of problem:
The package ncurses-devel installs a directory full of examples and tests under
/usr/share/doc/ncurses-devel-<version>/test, but those can't be built:

  $ cp -R /usr/share/doc/ncurses-devel-5.6/test/ /tmp
  $ cd /tmp/test/

./configure is not executable, running it errors out (old autoconf stuff?)

For e.g. blue, the file states to compile by:

  cc -O blue.c -lcurses -o blue

This should be (it includes local files):

  gcc -I. -O blue.c -lncurses -o blue

but that fails due to missing test.priv.h

Comment 1 Horst H. von Brand 2008-03-06 18:21:05 UTC

Sorry, turned an incomplete report in.

ncurses-devel-5.6-15.20080112.fc9.i386

Fixing up the source I got blue to build (I needed it for another report).

Comment 2 Miroslav Lichvar 2008-03-07 13:44:32 UTC

In ncurses-5.6-16.20080301.fc9 the missing install-sh was added to the test
directory. Documentation shouldn't have executable files, but sh ./configure &&
make should work now.

Thanks for the report.
