Hi folks,

David Gibbs tried to build tn5250 0.17.3 using cygwin. The build failed with the following:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -DSYSCONFDIR=\"/usr/local/etc\" -I/usr/include
-g -O2 -MT buffer.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/buffer.Tpo -c buffer.c -DPIC -o .libs/buffer.o
In file included from tn5250-private.h:99,
from buffer.c:22:
/usr/include/termcap.h:49: error: conflicting types for `tparm'
/usr/include/ncurses.h:717: error: previous declaration of `tparm'
make[2]: *** [buffer.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/david/tn5250-0.17.3/src'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/david/tn5250-0.17.3/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1


ncurses is installed. I'm not sure what the conflict is exactly. Maybe a win32 specific bit of code that is getting confused?

On a related subject, I'm thinking we should split the code that compiles to lib5250 from the that which compiles to tn5250. Since it is only tn5250 that requires curses, there is no reason why lib5250 shouldn't be able to build without curses at all. Thoughts? How should I structure it? Make a lib subdirectory?
