Details

The current build of extra/termcap only includes a statically linked copy of libtermcap. I have at least one third party app which looks for a shared library version of libtermcap. Can we get the termcap package rebuilt to include shared libs?

I'd be happy to do this myself if I knew how. I believe you get gcc to build shared libs my passing '-shared' to it but, if that is correct (maybe it is an ld option?), I am not sure how to get '-shared' passed to gcc by way of the PKGBUILD script.

there is a libtermcap-compat in testing now.
This has a shared lib please report any bugs you will find in the package ;)

Argh. Your -compat seems to work fine, but the bloody app I have is still busted. The app was built for Red Hat though it did work on Gentoo and others. Now it is looking for "libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3".

"error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I guess I'm up the creek. I tried linking my installed libstdc++ to the name above but then I get a missing symbol error.
