Thomas E. Dickey bca50d0d85 ncurses 6.0 - patch 20180106
+ fixes for writing extended color pairs in putwin.
+ modify test/savescreen.c to add test patterns that exercise 88-,
  256-, etc., colors.
+ modify configure option --with-build-cc, adding clang, c89 and c99
  as possible default values.
+ modify ncurses-examples configure script to use pkg-config for the
  extra form/menu/panel libraries, to be more consistent with the
  handling of the curses/ncurses library.
+ modify test-packages for mingw to supply "pc" files.
+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to list -lpthread as a private library when
  configured to access it via weak symbols.
+ simplify gen-pkgconfig.in, adding -ltinfo without the special linker
  checks because some versions of the linker simply hard-code the
  behavior.
+ update URLs for ncurses website to use https.
+ modify CF_CURSES_LIBS to fill in $cf_nculib_root in case the
  ncurses-examples are built with a system ncurses that lacks the
  standard "curses" symbolic link, as done by SuSE.  The symbol is
  needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and
  would be set properly using the options "--with-screen", etc.
+ generate misc/*.pc with "all" rule, as done for "sources" rule
  (report by Jeffrey Walton).

You can build ncurses on OS/2 in the EMX environment. But you must build and
acquire tools. Not all of the tools distributed with EMX work properly, and
some additional ones are required.
First, the configure script distributed with ncurses will not run as-is in EMX.
You can generate a new one if you have autoconf built for EMX. You will need
the EMX development tools, of course. Get these programs to start:
GNU m4 program (version 1.4)
GNU autoconf (version 2.13).
GNU patch (version 2.5)
Apply the autoconf patches from
https://invisible-island.net/autoconf
ftp://ftp.invisible-island.net/autoconf
These are ordered by date:
autoconf-2.13-20030927.patch.gz
autoconf-2.13-20030927-emx.patch.gz
I built my development environment for ncurses using EMX 0.9c at the end of
1997. Much of the EMX patch for autoconf was done originally by J.J.G.Ripoll,
using a similar environment (he prefers using the 'ash' shell). Newer versions
may fix these problems:
+ The pdksh program distributed at Hobbes and Leo (with a 1996 date) is
defective. It does not process "here documents" correctly (which
renders it useless for running the autoconf script). I built my own
copy of pdksh 5.2.13, which does have the bug corrected (documented
in the change log for pdksh).
+ I also built from sources (because the distributed binaries did not
work) the cmp, diff programs.
Other required utilities such as ar, cat, chmod, cp, gawk, grep, mv,
ls, rm, mkdir, sed, sort and tr worked.
Once you have autoconf patched and installed, run 'autoconf' from the top-level
directory of ncurses to generate the EMX-specific configure script.
