@twobob: Check my ncurses stage (or a
Gentoo ebuild) if you want to preserve ABI compatiblity with previous ncurses version (5.4), there's a bunch of flags to pass to configure to avoid mismatch in data types. Not sure which version of ncurses the K3 bundles, so it might not be critical (it might even be counter productive, depending on how the Kindle's ncurses was built), but I always build ncurses that way, just to be safe
.
In fact, checking the Gentoo ebuild and configure --help are the two things I usually do first when trying to x-compile something new
.
@twobob/knc1: You probably only really need to use a staged /mnt/us as the autotools prefix in very few cases, when stuff actually hardcode paths (OpenSSH, I'm looking at you), or inject an rpath at the linking stage.
