<title>Installation of Ncurses</title>

<para>Prepare Ncurses for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/tools --with-shared \
    --without-debug --without-ada --enable-overwrite</userinput></screen>

<para>The meaning of the configure options:</para>

<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><userinput>--without-ada</userinput>: This tells Ncurses not
to build its Ada bindings, even if an Ada compiler is installed on the host.
This must be done because once we enter the chroot environment, Ada will no
longer be available.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para><userinput>--enable-overwrite</userinput>: This tells Ncurses
to install its header files into <filename class="directory">/tools/include</filename>
instead of <filename class="directory">/tools/include/ncurses</filename> to
ensure that other packages can find the Ncurses headers successfully.</para>
</listitem></itemizedlist>

<para>Compile the programs and libraries:</para>

<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>

<para>Then install them and their documentation:</para>

<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
