I'm certain we're talking about something different, since neither vim nor |
| 11 |
screen uses any other interface in that area than termcap. |
| 12 |

I was just in screen yesterday, and am looking at vim right now, just |
| 14 |
in case some feature has crept in. If it were in fact using terminfo |
| 15 |
rather than termcap, it would call one of these functions: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
int setupterm(char *term, int fildes, int *errret); |
| 18 |
int setterm(char *term); |
| 19 |
char *tparm(char *str, ...); |
| 20 |
int tputs(const char *str, int affcnt, int (*putc)(int)); |
| 21 |
int tigetflag(char *capname); |
| 22 |
int tigetnum(char *capname); |
| 23 |
char *tigetstr(char *capname); |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
All three of those programs use the same interface from ncurses - the termcap |
| 26 |
one. |

odd - I know that radixnet filters spam, but haven't seen any comments about |
| 35 |
bounces. (otoh, it doesn't seem to work to send email to this list from |
| 36 |
_that_ host, which again, I've not seen before). his.com seems to work... |

ok - I see this |
| 42 |

http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/app-editors/vile/vile-9.5.ebuild?rev=1.1&view=markup |
| 44 |

| 45 |
The --with-ncurses is redundant (and --with-screen=ncurses is not as well |
| 46 |
supported as the default - I made some fixes after 9.5 for the former, so it |
| 47 |
should be comparable right now). |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
You might also consider --with-loadable-filters (that makes a smaller |
| 50 |
executable). |
