Older versions of ncurses (including the version that ships inside macos, and Centos 7) do not include the A_ITALIC macro. This patch simply hides any use of A_ITALIC behind a preprocessor guard. The result of this is that italics won't be rendered in the tui if ncurses isn't supported. We do have other options if we think it's important - for instance we could show italics as bold if italics aren't supported. From my understanding, that might be overthinking it - so I took the simplest approach here, just to fix the build. Those versions also define tgetnum as: int tgetnum(char *id); so attempting to compile for c++ results in the error: ISO C++ forbids converting a string constant to 'char*' [-Werror=write-strings] This is just a dated API issue, so a const cast resolves the issue.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README, and so on. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
