Building ncurses
6.2 on z/OS with IBM XL C/C++ 2.4.1 fails, and there's a few changes that
needed to be made to get it to compile. Here's a quick description of the
changes in patch that I've attached:
1) ./configure:
-Qunused-args is not supported on the compiler and will throw an error
when used, so this patch removes it if building on z/OS 2) ./include/MKterm.h.awk.in:
The included header doesn't exist on z/OS, so do not include it when compiling
on this platform 3) ./misc/run_tic.in:
The -x flag for tic is missing, so use the version without it
After these changes,
it builds fine
