That appears to be from https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ncurses/2025-10/msg00019.html Date: Sat, 4 Oct 2025 09:16:38 -0500 From: "G. Branden Robinson" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [PATCH 17/21] misc/ncurses-config.in: Revise shell variable definitions for clarity. * Rename `THIS` to `CURSES_LIB`. Update expansion sites. * Populate `TINFO_LIB` with the catenation of `@TINFO_NAME@` and `@ABI_SUFFIX@`, in parallel with `CURSES_LIB`'s definition. The latter comment refers to this: -TINFO_LIB="@TINFO_ARG_SUFFIX@" +TINFO_LIB="@TINFO_NAME@@ABI_SUFFIX@" I'll undo that. -- Thomas E. Dickey <[email protected]> https://invisible-island.net
