patch to make ports ncurses optional
Seems reasonable to me, though I'm admittedly unsure what the difference is between the in-Base ncurses and ncurses Port. All I need from either is a working terminfo library and database.
If `notcurses-tester` and `notcurses-demo` still work well following this change, go for it!
(In reply to Nick Black from comment #1) Thanks for pointing those out. I discovered a problem in my port Makefile patch, which I fixed, which lead me to discover that the base libtinfo is a symlink to the base libncursesw which contains conflicting symbols with notcurses, so this may not be workable for now. This just isn't workable right now. Maybe if we can fix ncurses in base we can revisit this another time. Closing for now. |
Created attachment 221707 [details] patch to make ports ncurses optional Ncurses is in base, but doesn't have a pkg-config file in base. Base ncurses is newer in newer releases. This patch allows using it if ports ncurses isn't installed.
