- I don't understand this. I had to do absolutely *NOTHING* with
- respect to termcap in order to get Emacs to work (there was, however, a
- lot of work that Emacs required for non-VT100 terminals). I suspect
- that you're doing something wrong. Here are the ld(1) command used to
- link emacs here:
-
- ld -o temacs crt0.o dispnew.o scroll.o xdisp.o window.o term.o \
- cm.o x11term.o x11fns.o xmenu.o emacs.o keyboard.o \
- macros.o keymap.o sysdep.o buffer.o filelock.o insdel.o \
- marker.o minibuf.o fileio.o dired.o filemode.o cmds.o \
- casefiddle.o indent.o search.o regex.o undo.o alloc.o \
- data.o doc.o editfns.o callint.o eval.o fns.o print.o \
- lread.o abbrev.o syntax.o unexec.o mocklisp.o bytecode.o \
- process.o callproc.o environ.o doprnt.o terminfo.o \
- lastfile.o alloca.o malloc.o \
- -lcurses libXMenu11.a -lX11 -ln -lc
-
- Note that libcurses.a, libtermcap.a, and libtermlib.a are all the SAME
- library (they're all linked to each other).
