This is a simple compile of

  ftp://www.clark.net/pub/dickey/ncurses/ncurses-5.0-990710.tgz
  
I used an obsolete version of EMX to compile it (very old machine :-() 
 but it should not matter much - except for SIGWINCH.

The patches from the file diff_ncurses_os2_990710a should be applied
(the patch to ncurses/Makefile should be moved to some configure script,
of course).  Then the sequence of commands from Makefile.os2 was done.
[I needed to generate ncurses.def by hands - probably a bug in an old
emxexp.]

The lib/lib* files are static link libraries, other lib/* files are dynamic
link export libraries.  Compile is -Zmt -Zcrtdll.

Do not forget to set TERMINFO environment variable, say

   set TERMINFO=f:/emx.add/lib/terminfo
   set TERM=cmono

I added two terminals: cmono is mono with mouse support turned on, cmonoc
has default colors (similar to NC) - may be buggy.

I also include termcap entry for cmonoc.  For historical reasons it is
named cmono, though it provides capabilities of cmonoc.  Append it
to your /emx/etc/termcap.dat file.  (Look in lib/terminfo directory.)

Enjoy,
