Hi Sun-Managers,
many thanks to:
Pat Myrto <rwing!pat@ole.cdac.com>
Casper Dik <casper@fwi.uva.nl>
Christian Masopust <Christian.Masopust@emndev.siemens.co.at>
who gave interesting suggestions, but I have not been able
to solve the problem. In my opinion, there are bugs in the
libcurses.a libraries; the two functions
noecho();
crmode();
seem to be incorrectly implemented in /usr/ccs/lib/libcurses.a.
Replacing -lcurses -ltermlib by the equivalent -ltermcap (as
Pat Myrto suggested) brought the same linker errors as before.
Even the function
cbreak();
, meant to replace the obsolete
crmode();
gave the same linker errors as crmode().
The Berkeley Version of libcurses.a, /usr/ucblib/libcurses.a,
still gives the same fatal multiple definition error. Including
-lucb (as Casper Dik suggested) brought no different result either.
The only workaround to compile 'ntalk' seems to be to throw
both calls out of the sourcetext; the program then will work,
but has difficulties converting CRs to LFs.
Maybe I'm luckier next time,
Emile Bartole
