Compiling oksh against netbsd-curses about oksh HOT 3 OPEN

The intention of the configure script is to support this exact scenario.
I am not a void linux user. Could you tell me how to replicate your environment so I can get this fixed?

Could you tell me how to replicate your environment so I can get this fixed?

Using xbps-src in a foreign Linux distribution
xbps-src can be used in any recent Linux distribution matching the CPU architecture.

To use xbps-src in your Linux distribution use the following instructions. Let's start downloading the xbps static binaries:

$ wget http://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/static/xbps-static-latest.<arch>-musl.tar.xz
$ mkdir ~/XBPS
$ tar xvf xbps-static-latest.<arch>-musl.tar.xz -C ~/XBPS
$ export PATH=~/XBPS/usr/bin:$PATH

If xbps-uunshare does not work because of lack of user_namespaces(7) support, try other chroot methods.

Clone the void-packages git repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages.git --depth=1

and xbps-src should be fully functional; just start the bootstrap process, i.e:

$ ./xbps-src binary-bootstrap

The default masterdir is created in the current working directory, i.e void-packages/masterdir.

Now you have to create the netbsd-curses package, for this you have to download the template and place it in /path/void-packages/netbsd-curses/ and then create a symbolic link from netbsd-curses to netbsd-curses-devel inside the srcpkgs directory.

Proceed to build the package:

./xbps-src pkg netbsd-curses

Now build the oksh package with the following custom template replacing the original template distributed by Void Linux.

Build the oksh package:

./xbps-src pkg -C oksh

The -C argument is used so that after the package build the build directory, dependencies and the fake root directory are not removed.

Up to this point, using the binary and wanting to clean the screen doesn't work because the netbsd-curses libraries aren't detected in the configuration process.

I hope I made myself clear as my native language isn't English.

Thank you very much for your interest in trying to find a solution to my issue.

I should have been more clear. I am not a Linux user. I will use void linux to fix things, since it appears you are using void linux.

These instructions are helpful. I will try to fix this over the weekend.
