Re: [PATCH] cygwin sharedlib build fixes, terminfo

[Charles Wilson]

I rebuilt ncurses using the official patchsets from the website (thru 
the 20030726 patch).  Thanks for incorporating the cygwin fixes.

Nicholas Wourms then sent me some helpful additions for building with 
libtool on cygwin.  I reworked them so they don't break non-libtool 
builds...

Now, these changes to ncurses are sufficient to build it shared on 
cygwin -- provided
  1) you get a bugfix for libtool itself...
  2) you get a bugfix for the libtool-wrapper on cygwin
So, my most recent "official" release of ncurses-for-cygwin was built 
from sources that have these patches -- BUT I built non-libtool.

So, I'm *sure* these patches don't break non-libtool.  However, I was 
forced to make some changes to aclocal.m4 -- which means that you need 
to run autoconf (I used dickey.his.com/20020210 version).  I did not 
include the patch to configure; it was far too big.  Just run autoconf 
after applying these patches.

Hope you find these changes useful -- many of them are necessary not 
solely for cygwin, but for libtool-1.5 on any platform.

aclocal.m4:
-----------------
  Add support for 'libtool --mode=*'.  The --mode parameter is
  required for libtool-1.5 and above; it is compatible with 
  libtool-1.4.x.

  Add support for 'libtool --tag=CXX'.  This is libtool-1.5
  specific -- but since pre-1.5 libtool couldn't build C++ libraries
  at all, this isn't a big deal.  This only affects the c++/
  stuff.
