System: NetBSD azenomei.falu.nl 1.4.1 NetBSD 1.4.1 (AZENOMEI) #20: Sat Feb 5 02:02:09 CET 2000 rhialto@azenomei.falu.nl:/usr/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/AZENOMEI alpha


>Description:
	
	The termcap(3) manual page claims you need no other #include
	files besides termcap.h to use its functions. This is not
	true.
	
	This breaks the configure process of (at least) vim.
	
	I suspect that this is also why the vim pkg unnecessarily
	depends on the ncurses pkg.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
azenomei.1:/tmp$ cat t.c
     #include termcap.h 	/* angle brackets removed for send-pr ;-) */

     char PC;
     char *BC;
     char *UP;
     short ospeed;

TERMCAP(3)                NetBSD Programmer's Manual                TERMCAP(3)

NAME
     tgetent, tgetnum, tgetflag, tgetstr, tgoto, tputs - terminal independent
     operation routines

LIBRARY
     Termcap Access Library (libtermcap, -ltermcap)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <termcap.h>

     char PC;
     char *BC;
     char *UP;
     short ospeed;
>Fix:
	

	Add #include "sys/cdefs.h" to /usr/include/termcap.h.
	(with angle brackets - but send-pr would remove them)

-Olaf.
