The default value is ncurses though, as I read src/configure.in |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
case "`uname -s 2>/dev/null`" in |
| 21 |
OSF1) tlibs="ncurses curses termlib termcap";; |
| 22 |
*) tlibs="ncurses termlib termcap curses";; |
| 23 |
esac |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
And there're two factors to consider: the terminal database, and the |
| 26 |
library. Either may be a problem. But I don't offhand know of a problem |
| 27 |
with either that would mangle the screen with GNU termcap. From the |
| 28 |
termcap interface up, vim would do the same thing anyway since it's |
| 29 |
a termcap application (uses tgetent, tgoto, etc). term.c is about 5400 |
| 30 |
lines of code... |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Note that vim uses tgoto() rather than tparm() - and uses that for |
| 33 |
updating colors. Not exactly the intended use of that function, but |
| 34 |
it works. |

yes - I haven't done anything regarding parallel build for vile. |
| 46 |
Only ncurses, iirc. I'll add that to my to-do list. |
