[uClibc]uClibc and termcap

[Mark Wormgoor]

Hi,

I've created a bootdisk using busybox and uClibc.  On this disk, I have an
install-program, that is statically linked (against libc, libslang and
libnewt).  It is statically linked, because I had problems compiling
libnewt agains uClibc.  And the size of stripped install+libnewt+libslang
is about the same size as the stripped static binary.

When I run this program on my regular machine, the colors look great.
When I run it from the bootdisks, I only get certain colors and the
terminal emulation doesn't appear as it should.

However, I haven't got a clue where to look.  I have a /etc/termcap that
contains an entry for a linux-terminal (that I want to use).  When I run a
shell on the bootdisk, the terminaltype is (correctly) set to linux.
-) Is the problem in uClibc or busybox ?
-) Should I link the install program staticall against uClibc instead of
   libc (don't know how this could make a difference, but still...)

Kind regards,


	Mark Wormgoor
