There is no termcap library available in any form on DragonFly.
Discussed with wiz@.

But termcap.b3.mk already has fallback logic to curses, so that should
be used.


Please note 2 things:
1) the other line "CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with-curses=yes"
2) none of the curses / termcap logic works on DragonFly, at all.

For many months, curses library is private but the headers were public. Since pkgsrc doesn't actually test ability to link but only assumes that header presence == library presence, it's all broken.

As of a few days, the curses and readline headers are also hidden.


I would think every platform should use curses over termcap but I'm not going to make that happen.
