Summary: configure does not support detection of (n)cursesw Product: Wine Version: 1.1.8 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P5 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: michael@liebenowstudios.com
Created an attachment (id=17264) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=17264) Proposed fix for configure script - not well tested
Some systems only provide wide character versions of the curses libraries. This is the default on LFS and a few others. The built in AC macros are correctly detecting the curses header files but the WINE_CHECK_SONAME macro misses the actual libs.
On my system I fixed configure.ac the behavoir as shown in the attached diff and then ran autoconf I don't know if this is clean or would break detection of non-wide libraries. The error stating that curses functionality will be disabled is no longer in my configure logs but I don't know if I actually have curses support now.
