Thanks, this seems to work. However, I just discovered the next missing piece in the puzzle -- the tests themselves fail to build out of tree: ,---- | $ mkdir -p build && cd build && ../test/configure && make | [...] | configure: creating ./config.status | config.status: creating Makefile | config.status: creating ncurses_cfg.h | make: *** No rule to make target `background.c', needed by `../build/background.o'. Stop. `---- Cheers, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
