That would be:
#define BROKEN_LINKER 1

It worked, thanks.

ncurses problem with *line()

[Kurt Roeckx]

I upgraded ncurses (and alot of other stuff) today, and it seems
to work just fine.

The problem is when I try to link my program against ncurses.  I
get a few "undefined reference to 'acs_map`".  It seems
libncurses6 doesn't have this acs_map anymore.

I also get this warning, which I think is unrelated:
Warning: resolving _stdsrc by linking to __imp__stdsrc (auto-import)

I assumed it was a libncurses6 problem, so tried to link to
libncurses5 using -lncurses5, but then ld said it couldn't find
it.

Does anybody know why it isn't working, or how to fix it?

As a temporary fix you can 
#define BROKEN_LINKER

prior to calling
#include  <curses.h>
or
#include <ncurses.n>

I would imagine that 'workaround' will not be necessary
in future curses releasess.  Chuck ???
