As bash and readline uses tgetent(), tgetflag(), tgetnum(), tgetstr(), tgoto(), and tputs() I do not see why this should be required. Maybe it would be an option to split off from libncurses (and also from libncursesw) the libtinfo (as this is identical with libtinfow) then I would and could be able to use libtinfo instead of libncurses(w). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

All packages using terminfo functions not depending on the character type should use -ltinfo. The best case would be if all package would use ncurses5-config or ncursesw5-config with the appropiate options --cflags and --libs. For those packages which do not us ncurses at all but only terminfo functions should use -ltinfo only as libtinfo for libncurses as well for libncursesw are identical -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
