[screen-devel] [bug #29254] ./configure on HP-UX with ncurses-5.7 fails to find tgetent

[Alexander Gattin]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #29254 (project screen):

Sorry for very late reply:

yes, the patch works. screen builds with HP-UX system libcurses, and ./screen
binary seems to work OK. It even finds terminfo entry for TERM=xterm which
indicates that it indeed uses terminfo database and not termcap (/etc/termcap
on HP-UX 11.31 doesn't contain terminal description for xterm, while HP-UX
terminfo does).

What's more interesting for you I think is the next paragraph from HP-UX `man
tgentent`:

    Obsolescent Interfaces
      tgetent(), tgetnum(), tgetflag(), tgetstr(), tgoto(), and tputs() are
      to be obsoleted at a future date.
