<title>The meaning of the new configure options:</title>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--with-manpage-format=normal</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>This prevents Ncurses installing compressed manual
pages, which may happen if the host distribution itself
has compressed manual pages.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--with-shared</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>This makes Ncurses build and install shared C libraries.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--without-normal</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>This prevents Ncurses building and installing static C
libraries.</para>

<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--without-debug</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>This prevents Ncurses building and installing debug
libraries.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--with-cxx-shared</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>This makes Ncurses build and install shared C++ bindings. It
also prevents it building and installing static C++ bindings.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--without-ada</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>This ensures that Ncurses does not build support for the Ada
compiler, which may be present on the host but will not be available
once we enter the <command>chroot</command> environment.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--disable-stripping</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>This switch prevents the building system from
using the <command>strip</command> program from the host.
Using host tools on cross-compiled programs can cause failure.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>--enable-widec</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>This switch causes wide-character libraries (e.g., <filename
class="libraryfile">libncursesw.so.&ncurses-version;</filename>)
to be built instead of normal ones (e.g., <filename
class="libraryfile">libncurses.so.&ncurses-version;</filename>).
These wide-character libraries are usable in both multibyte and
traditional 8-bit locales, while normal libraries work properly
only in 8-bit locales. Wide-character and normal libraries are
source-compatible, but not binary-compatible.</para>

<term><parameter>TIC_PATH=$(pwd)/build/progs/tic</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>We need to pass the path of the newly built
<command>tic</command> program that runs on the building machine, so
the terminal database can be created without errors.</para>
