I have scripts which do configure/make/make-install/make-uninstall,
as well as making packages (for the AdaCurses tree by itself).
I keep the logs, compare and resolve differences.  What platforms I build
and test depends on what's changed recently.

Most of the builds I do are with the whole ncurses tree, which
makes some difference in the way the configure/make process works.

But I test-build AdaCurses by itself occasionally (I have logs
for Debian, Fedora, and OpenSUSE from last winter, for _that_).

Besides those, my whole-tree builds include cygwin and CentOS.

I did some test-builds with the 2018 version on macOS 10.13,
which worked (though I noticed a problem with one of the pathnames).
