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

[Alexander Gattin]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #29254 (project screen):

Apparently -lcurses works on PA-RISC HP-UX 11.11 too.

Its manpage for tgetent says:

 NAME
      tgetent, tgetflag, tgetnum, tgetstr, tgoto - termcap database
      emulation (TO BE WITHDRAWN)
 ...
 APPLICATION USAGE
      These functions are included as a conversion aid for programs that use
      the termcap library.  Their arguments are the same and the functions
      are emulated using the terminfo database.

      These functions are only guaranteed to operate reliably on character
      sets in which each character fits into a single byte, whose attributes
      can be expressed using only constants with the A_ prefix.

      Any terminal capabilities from the terminfo database that cannot be
      retrieved using these interfaces can be retrieved using the interfaces
      described on the tigetflg() page.

BTW, they actually meant tigetflag(3X)
