The problem lies in the way configure tests this flag:
3.0.6 does
#include "confdefs.h"
main(){int i = tgetent((char*)0,"vt100");exit(!i || i == -1);}
whereas 3.1.6 does
#include "confdefs.h"
main()
{
int i = tgetent((char*)0,"vt100");
if (i > 0) {
char tbuf[1024], *u;
u = tbuf;
tgetstr("cl", &u);
}
exit(!i || i == -1);
}
The latter test yields the correct result, and 3.1.6 works out of the box.
Maybe 3.0.6 should be changed?
Regarding problem 2: compiling 3.1.6 gives the same warning on 4.0.1 (hardly
surprising in my view).
