Just do: ncursesw5-config --libs 2>/dev/null && exit ncurses5-config --libs 2>/dev/null && exit [old code unchanged] This avoids an ugly re-indent of otherwise unchanged code. On a side note: is the old code still useful, now we use the config scripts? In other words: are there cases where a ncurses install would not provide those scripts? If the answer is 'no', then just trash the old code away. I've just tested Debian Squeeze (stable for now), and Cygwin, and they both do provide ncurses{,w}5-config. > + else > + for ext in so a dll.a dylib ; do > + for lib in ncursesw ncurses curses ; do > + $cc -print-file-name=lib${lib}.${ext} | grep -q / > + if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then > + echo "-l${lib}" > + exit > + fi > + done > done > - done > + fi > exit 1 > } Regards, Yann E.
