Question about chapter 6.19 ncurses??
 

Hi i am kindoff confused about executing the command in the NOTES for binary-only application ... i was wondering do i have execute this following command :

make distclean
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-shared --without-normal \
--without-debug --without-cxx-binding
make sources libs
cp -av lib/lib*.so.5* /usr/lib

and then repeat the above steps required for Ncurses again???

Hi,

If you are building an (B)LFS system you don't have to do that step. I would go as far as to say that it is only needed if you are going to install a package (not from source!) that is going to use this.

Hope this helps.

Umm.. i kindoff executed it heheh...is it possible to revert back or do i have execute the previous commands again..

thanks drunna :)

Hi,
The steps in the Notes box only installs extra libraries. There's no need to remove what has been installed, it won't do any harm.

BTW: You're welcome :)

Hope this helps.
