I was wondering if anyone out there who has done this could suggest what I might be doing wrong. I'm using b19 with Sergey Okhapkin's latest patches (10/29/97), under NT 4.0 SP3. Also, I have installed ncurses 1.9.9g, which seems to work, all the test programs and less (3.32) work just fine. When I built texinfo, in order to get the build to complete, I had to comment out a few lines in info.c, which refer to the SIGWINCH signal, which does not seem to be defined by when _WIN32 is #define'd. (Out of curiousity: Is this signal part of the ANSI C standard signal.h header file? I assume not...) Other then that, everything compiled fine, I installed the package, set INFOPATH to point to all the places it needs to, and ran it. Unfortunately, although the status bars at the top and bottom of the window get displayed, nothing else does. And when I press keys, it seems like only every other key is perceived by info. Do I need to install the termcap library? I was under the impression that ncurses implements the termcap API, so I shouldn't need to. Is this not right? Why does ncurses include a termcap.h header file? Thanks for any help.
