Hi all,
Thanks to all who replied. ( Apologies for late summary ).
termcap could be in /usr/ucblib, add in -L/usr/ucblib, but advised not
to use it.
use -lcurses instead of -ltermcap
termcap is Sun OS/BSD, Solaris/SysV uses terminfo
/usr/ccs/lib/libcurses.a is in package SUNWarc
It turns out that the bash package had its own ltermcap, but had to be
configured to build the termcap library.
Edit the machines.h. Under the Sun Microsystems, there is a section
"Check for SunOS4 or greater". Uncomment the
define USE_GNU_TERMCAP. This is referred to in cpp-Makefile.
