Full_Name: Adam J. Richter
Version: 2.3.33
CVS_Date:
OS: Linux-2.4.5

Submission from: (NULL) (216.218.142.42)
If you just do "./configure" with fvwm95-2.3.33 on a system that uses
ncurses instead of termcap, it will decide that readline wants "-ltermcap"
rather than "-lncurses". The reason for this is that configure.in
relies on the autoconf macro smr_ARG_WITHLIB setting with_termcap to "no"
if there is no termcap library, but, in fact, smr_ARG_WITHLIB defaults
to setting it to "maybe", even if the library does not exist.
The following patch fixes smr_ARG_WITHLIB to set with_${library} to
"maybe" if the library exists and "no" if it does not. I have tested
it under autoconf-2.50, and it results in a successful build,
automatically
determining that it should use "-lreadline -lncruses" (which tests both
the failure case, the test for termcap, and the success case, the test
of ncurses). Here is the patch.
