Hi folks,

With the recent knowledge that Texlive's binary (as installed by 'install-tl-unix') seems to use the non-wide-character libraries in ncurses5 format, I was wondering if we could get this added to ALFS. The instructions are already in LFS, in 6.24:

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

I think that as a result, an option should be added to it's menu system to check whether you want these or not (maybe a disclaimer in the HELP section can be put in regarding 'install-tl-unix' being one of the only known consumers?).

Thank you,

Douglas R. Reno
