Running a special Ncurses in parallel with the normal one?

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I'd like to compile my own Ncurses, from scratch, without the memory
leak feature, so that Valgrind shows no leaks if my application has no
leaks.

But I don't want to use my hand-compiled Ncurses all over my computer,
just in this one app, and just for testing. Once my application's
complete and Valgrind tells me there are no memory leaks, I'll just use
the normal Ncurses.

So how do I go about compiling special Ncurses libraries I can use for
just this one app, in a way that all the other programs on my computer
will use the Ncurses provided by my package manager?

Thanks,

SteveT
