<para><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../ncurses-&ncurses-version;-patch:</userinput>
This patch fixes a compile problem with GCC-3.2 because Ncurses uses
constructions that are not valid in ANSI C++ and don't compile with
recent GCC versions that conform to the standard.</para>
<para><userinput>--with-shared:</userinput> This enables the build of the
shared ncurses library files.</para>
<para><userinput>chmod 755 *.5.2:</userinput> Shared libraries should be
executable. Ncurses's install routine doesn't set the permissions
properly so we do it manually instead.</para>
<para><userinput>ln -sf libncurses.a libcurses.a:</userinput> Some
programs try to link using -lcurses instead of -lncurses. This symlink
ensures that such programs will link without errors.</para>
