If the compiler is some customized or hard to build version then yes, they should be included. The more steps you add to get to the final product the more likely it is to run into problems.

The configure script is not a compilation artifact. The more steps you add to get final product the more errors are possible. It's much easier for you as the project developer to generate the script so you should do it. If it's ea

For running autoreconf you need to have autotools installed and even then it can fail. I have autotools installed and despite that autoreconf fails for me on the xz git repository. The idea of having configure as a convoluted shell script i

It's common but it's plain wrong. A "release" should allow to build the project without installing dependencies that are only there for compilation. Autotools are not guaranteed to be installed on any system. For example

I looked at the differences between the GitHub repository and released packages. About 60 files are in a release package that are not in the repo (most are generated files for building) but also some of the .po files have changes. That&#x27

This might be true today but on the lower resolution screens of the 80s, the mouse pointer was relatively bigger than it is today.

Including setting the hot spot. Similar to the Macintosh mouse pointer the click point was not at (0,0) but at (1,1) (the orange point in the skin colored area in the editor on the linked page).

It clearly depends on what you do but having more colors is nice. Even if 256 colors are available it's not enough. The palette of the 256 colors is gruesome. You can clearly see that a technical person without any knowledge of color t

Does your screen even support 24bit colors? If unsetting COLORTERM fixes the display problem then it is a program issuing 24bit colors but the terminal (in your case screen) not understanding the escape sequences.

Indeed. Going down the terminfo road lies madness only. This is partly due to the maintainer of ncurses being somewhat ... conservative and the new fangled terminal devs wanna move things fast.
