Re: Is the configure script suposed to detect libncursesw ?

[Michael Schmidt <michael.schmidt.dangel@gmail.com>]

I'm sorry to bother you again,

but I applied the patch you sent as follows:/dpkg-1.15.8.5$patch -Np1 -i ../0001-B... 
then afterwards I removed libncurses5-dev and libncursesw5-dev.
then I ran ./configure

and it didn't complain about the missing ncurses/w library.
then I did make and the same error message was reported.
Maybe there needs to be some changes in the configure.ac that wheren't included by the patch

the pach only changed the m4/dpkg-libs.m4 (only guessing)

I think the attached patch does what we want: make having ncurses
mandatory except if one passes --without-dselect.

Mraw,
