The symbol is needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and would be set properly using the options \"--with-screen\", etc. + generate misc/
*.pc with \"all\" rule, as done for \"sources\" rule (report by Jeffrey Walton).
* Mon Jan 08 2018 wernerAATTsuse.de- Add ncurses patch 20171230 + build-fix for ncurses-examples with Fedora27, adding check for reset_color_pairs() -- not yet in Fedora\'s package. + consistently add $CFLAGS to $MK_SHARED_LIB symbol in configure script when the latter happens to use the C compiler rather than directly using the loader (report by Jeffrey Walton). + set ABI for upcoming 6.1 release in \"
*.map\" files. While there are some remaining internals to apply, no ABI-related changes are anticipated. + add configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename conflict with Redhat packages versus test-packages.- Add ncurses patch 20171223 + modify ncurses-examples to quiet const-warnings when building with PDCurses. + modify toe to not exit if unable to read a terminal description, e.g., if there is a permission problem. + minor fix for progs/toe.c, using _nc_free_termtype2. + assign 0 to pointer in _nc_tgetent_leak() after freeing it. Also avoid reusing pointer from previous successful call to tgetent if the latest call is unsuccessful (patch by Michael Schroeder, OpenSuSE #1070450). + minor fix for test/tracemunch, initialize $awaiting variable.
* Fri Dec 22 2017 wernerAATTsuse.de- Disable memory leak checking (boo#1070450)

Normally tack is no longer built in-tree, but a few packagers combine it during the build. If term_entry.h is installed, there is no advantage to in-tree builds. + adjust configure-script to define HAVE_CURSES_DATA_BOOLNAMES symbol needed for tack 1.08 when built in-tree. Rather than relying upon internal \"_nc_\" functions, tack now uses the boolean, number and string capability name-arrays provided by ncurses and SVr4 Unix curses. It still uses term_entry.h for the definitions of the extended capability arrays. + add an overlooked null-pointer check in mvcur changes from 20170722- Modify patch ncurses-5.7-tack.dif and ncurses-6.0.dif to get position independent executables as well
