You can first compile ncurses (--with-gpm is disabled by
default), then gpm as you wish (I use --without-curses to
avoid the dependency). AFAIK most, if not all distributions
don't enable --with-gpm in ncurses nor --without-curses in
gpm.

I know --with-gpm in ncurses allows you to e.g. use mouse
with Lynx on console, but I have no idea what
--without-curses does in gpm. Everything worked here.
