I also tried to compile it, but couldn't get it to succeed...

I had to compile protobuf and ncurses first, then symlink libncursestw.so to libncurses.so otherwise it wouldn't find it, then it appeared to work away for a while, only to crash miserably on a missing "," or "." in network.h. Undeclared __STRING was the last error.

I'll look into it again in a couple of days, might be an easy fix.

Also, you might want to use the version of GCC that you find on SFE.

The OI one in /usr/bin/gcc is version 3.4.3, while the one in SFE is 4.6.2.
I have had better luck compiling with the latter as opposed to the former.

When you have multiple compilers installed, you can set the one you want to
use for the project by providing the CC flag to the configure script or as
an environment variable:

./configure CC="/usr/gcc/4.6/bin/gcc" will set you up to use the SFE version
of gcc

Otherwise, go to the Oracle website and download the Solaris Studio compiler
tarfile. It works well, but some software won't compile cleanly on it since
the source code uses "gcc-isms". When it works it's a painless process.
Also, the license states that it can be used for free for both personal and
commercial uses. It also ships with its own IDE, a version of NetBeans.

./configure CC="/opt/solarisstudio12.3/bin/cc" will set you up with the
Oracle compiler.

Again, I hope this helps.

I'm using gcc installed via "pkg install gcc", which I assume means I'm
getting it from OI.

I set the two variables as you recommended, with my paths, (export

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/amd64/pkgconfig/:/usr/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/share/p
kgconfig/" and export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/:/usr/lib/:/usr/lib/amd64/") and still receive
the same error.

No package 'ncurses' found

I have no idea what TINFO is, but from googling around, I find it has
something to do with ncurses as an independent provider for something
(I'm
terribly helpful, I know). I know ncurses is installed and that other
programs that are dependent on it work, and there are libs  in
/usr/gnu/lib
and /usr/gnu/lib/amd64.

...

But setting either doesn't fix anything. However, this is the first
time
I've run into issues with a configure script not working, so this is
probably me not actually doing things properly. Specifying my libdir to
either /usr/gnu/lib or /usr/gnu/lib/amd64 doesn't help either.

Does anyone have any ideas for where to go from here?

You need to verify that the ncurses package is correctly installed,
and then when running mosh's configure script, ensure that you have
/usr/gnu/lib (assuming that's where your ncurses libs are) in your
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS via something like this:

CFLAGS="-L/usr/gnu/lib" CXXFLAGS="-L/usr/gnu/lib" ; export CFLAGS CXXFLAGS

It's preferable to get gcc to use an rpath rather than forcing
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/gnu/lib, but if that's what it
takes, that's what it takes.
