Hi,

>Has anyone tried building ncurses-4.1 using b19 yet?  I was able to
>build and install it using coolview, but have hit a snag with b19.

Yep, works like a charm - only thing is, you have to replace /bin/sh,
which is actually an ash port, with bash.

cp <cygnus>/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe

and you're done.
It seems to be the "quoting bug" in ash, which prevents compiling
ncurses in this case.

As for me, I did the above mentioned copy *and* mounted my Cygnus
directory to /bin. So normally I have ash as sh, but if I need bash as
sh, I simply umount /bin and get the original contents of /bin, i.e.
bash.

[...]

Bye.
Michael.
