[Bug 11214] New: configure does not recognise libncursesw

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11214

Summary: configure does not recognise libncursesw
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.53.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: build-env
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I believe that this is trivial, but I'm not sure.  My current build does not
have libncurses, but libncursesw.  Configure complains.  Whether they are
completely compatible, I don't know.  I haven't even taken the time to research
what curses brings to the table for wine.  My trivial severity above might not
be so...if nobody comments in the next few days, I'll give it a go at munging
the autotools and see what happens.

ncursesw is the widechar version of ncurses I suspect, and we use the
ansi/ascii version.

0.9.52 could find our ncurses 5.6 built with UTF8 support fine, but 0.9.53 and
0.9.54 say they cannot find "-lncurses". I tried fiddling to have it find
"-lcurses", "-lncursesw", and "-lcursesw", all of which exist and work on the
command line, but all of them give "result: not found" in config.log after
checking for mousemask. Perhaps UTF8 ncurses is missing this mousemask?

At a guess, commit c1099bb759ef3b18e4405833976e656488735b5e
(http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=commit;h=d0783774e722c8b5f35ca9736f...)
may have caused it, but reversing the patch on 0.9.54 does not apply cleanly
(have not tried 0.9.53).

Try compiling at that commit and right before it to be sure.

8f954ccc0f5284d86eed5552bf62fe2710f74fc5, 0.9.54) allows --with-curses to find
lib(n)curses on a box with ncurses built with UTF8 support (again).

Have you verified that it was actually found in older versions?  Most likely it
never worked, but in older versions it didn't print the error unless you ran
with configure --verbose.

Is this still an issue in current (1.0-rc4 or newer) wine?

Yeah, sorry about the delay. It seems to have been fixed in 0.9.57. Thanks! :)
