The INSTALL file says the following about the --disable-tic-depends:
--disable-tic-depends
When building shared libraries, normally the tic library is linked to
depend upon the ncurses library (and in turn, on the term-library if
the --with-termlib option was given). The tic- and term-libraries
ABI does not depend on the --enable-widec option. Some packagers have
used this to reduce the number of library files which are packaged
by using only one copy of those libraries. To make this work properly,
the tic library must be built without an explicit dependency on the
ncurses (or ncursesw) library. Use this configure option to do that.
For example
configure --with-ticlib --with-shared --disable-tic-depends
However, the current Debian packages are configured with
--with-termlib=tinfo, but without --disable-tic-depends, and yet libtic
only depends on libtinfo, not on libncurses. So this option does not
actually seem to be necessary.
Am I missing something?
Cheers,
Sven
