Is there something else to back out? We could back out the `termcap' parameter entirely, and we could back out the ability to use ${(k)terminfo} -- those were the changes that started requiring the ncurses header files to be included even on systems that have the old termcap as well. Or we could change the termcap-search-order in configure.in to always try to find ncurses first, and skip defining HAVE_TERMCAP_H when we find the ncurses headers. (My understanding is that in the distant past of zsh, there were some who objected to linking the shell against curses when it would be sufficient to link against termcap, because curses is bloated.) Or we could add another --enable flag, which switches between the two states described above (in which case it should probably disable the terminfo parameter entirely rather than just crippling it). -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com Zsh: http://www.zsh.org | PHPerl Project: http://phperl.sourceforge.net
