# libgpm-local/cfg - "Build" settings for package

#---------------------------------------------------------------------

[technotes]

1. This package installs a modified version of the standard "gpm" sup-
port library  (libgpm).  The  modified  version  offers  the following
features:

      a. The library is now a  separate package.  This simplifies var-
         ious operations.

      b. Most build-time dependencies have been removed. Therefore, if
         a distro is  being  built from scratch,  this  version of the
         library can be installed at an early stage.

      c. There's a work-around for a  well-known  "libgpm vs. ncurses"
         conflict (the "Gpm_Wgetch" circular dependency).

      d. Several  bug fixes are  included  (relative to  "gpm" release
         1.20.1).

#---------------------------------------------------------------------

2. This package  will  conflict with  standard versions of  "gpm".  In
particular,  standard versions of  "gpm" install their own versions of
"libgpm".

This package is  designed for use with a particular version of  "gpm";
specifically, this distro's version.

#---------------------------------------------------------------------

3. This package used the following two source tarballs  as  a starting
point:

      ftp://arcana.linux.it/pub/gpm/gpm-1.20.1.tar.bz2
      http://www.metux.de/released/libgpm/libgpm-1.20.2.0.tar.bz2

Note:  The two URLs listed above were valid as of early 2007, but they
may have broken since then.

4. Notes on "build" sequence:

During  the initial  "build" of this distro, "libgpm",  "ncurses", and
"gpm" should be built as follows:

      4a. "libgpm" should be built initially before "ncurses".

      4b. "ncurses" should be built next.

      4c. "libgpm" should be built again  (a second time) after "ncur-
          ses" is installed.

      4d. "gpm" should be built after the second "build" of "libgpm".

This  sequence is related to the  circular-dependency work-around men-
tioned previously.

During steps  4a and 4c, the library "build" script  (build-libgpm.sh)
checks to see if "ncurses" is installed.  If so, the script  defines a
preprocessor symbol  NCURSES_PRESENT as 1.  Otherwise,  the script de-
fines the symbol as 0.  NCURSES_PRESENT enables or disables the "ncur-
ses"-dependent code in "libgpm-local".  For more information, see this
package's versions of "build-libgpm.sh" and "libcurses.c".
