I'm wondering if anyone has did an analysis of the curses that comes with
Solaris 8, comparing it to ncurses. In the past, we've always linked
against -lcurses on Solaris for our 'production' code. However, as
we begin looking at moving to Solaris 8, I get this question from one
of my developers:
Okay, I'll bite. Which libcurses should we link against for Solaris 8?
-rw-r--r-- 3 root bin 765864 Jan 5 2000 /usr/lib/libcurses.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 16 Jun 22 12:40 /usr/lib/libcurses.so ->
./libcurses.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 463544 Jan 5 2000 /usr/lib/libcurses.so.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 91832 Jan 5 2000 /usr/ucblib/libcurses.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 16 Jun 22 12:35 /usr/ucblib/libcurses.so
-> ./libcurses.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 66312 Jan 5 2000 /usr/ucblib/libcurses.so.1
The /usr/lib version is more than 8 times the size of the /usr/ucblib version.
Does it do something new and miraculous?
