Ian> So my question is should "--disable-stable" be added to NCURSES_CONF_OPT: Ian> 1. always, Ian> 2. never, or Ian> 3. when BR2_HAVE_DEVFILES is "y" (instead of using Ian> BR2_PACKAGE_NCURSES_TARGET_HEADERS). Either always or never. We have a mix of enable/disable-static in the tree, so we don't have a clear winner, but as we have been using always for almost 1 year now, and it cuts down on compilation time I'm going to go with "always". Thanks. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
