'aalib' fails to build.

[Andrew Long]

For the past week aalib has been failing to upgrade after a self-update. U've been holding off in the hope that

a)  it would fix itself or
b)  trac would come back up so I could report it.

As neither of these two preferred options have come to pass, I'm posting a quick summry of the problem here.

It fals during the configure phase. Here's the trailing several lines from main.log:-

:info:configure -----------------------------------------------------
:info:configure CFLAGS  -pipe -Os -arch x86_64 -I/usr/include/ncurses

This looks to me like a bad selection of compilers to choose from. I'm running OSX Lion 10.7.5 with the standard xcode for that version. I don't understand enough about the contents of teh configure.log to have any more of a guess than that.

I'm posting in the hope that someone can help me get past this problem.

Regards, Andy
