configure : libraries located even when disabled
by Sylvain Petreolle Oct. 31, 2003

Oct. 31, 2003

Having disabled the curses support, I see that the library is located by configure for future loading. Shouldnt these test be conditional ? dnl **** Get the soname for libraries that we load dynamically **** if test "$LIBEXT" = "so" then WINE_GET_SONAME(X11,XCreateWindow,[$X_LIBS $X_EXTRA_LIBS]) ... WINE_GET_SONAME(ncurses,waddch) WINE_GET_SONAME(curses,waddch) fi ===== Sylvain Petreolle (spetreolle_at_users_dot_sourceforge_dot_net) ICQ #170597259 Say NO to software patents Dites NON aux brevets logiciels "What if tomorrow the War could be over ?"
