Bugzilla Bug 182310

Here's what I get trying to compile nano:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] app-editors/nano-2.0.4  USE="slang unicode -debug -justify
-minimal -ncurses -nls -spell" 0 kB 

<....>

Using slang as the curses library
checking for use_default_colors in -lslang... no
configure: error:
*** UTF-8 support was requested, but insufficient UTF-8 support was
*** detected in your curses and/or C libraries.  Please verify that your
*** slang was built with UTF-8 support or your curses was built with
*** wide character support, and that your C library was built with wide
*** character support.

!!! Please attach the following file when filing a report to bugs.gentoo.org:
!!! /usr/tmp/portage/app-editors/nano-2.0.4/work/nano-2.0.4/config.log

!!! ERROR: app-editors/nano-2.0.4 failed.

Apparently nano needs slang-2 which is masked due to bug #141947.

I will attach config.log

config.log

Besides, the error diagnostics printed by configure looks wrong to me -- this
has nothing to do with unicode support, since both ncurses and slang are
compiled with unicode. Mainstream issue?

Run emerge -NuD world or re-emerge slang w/ USE=unicode at least.

Jacub,

My slang is already compiled with unicode, and I have unicode in global USE
flags as you can see.

kir@mmx ~ $ sudo emerge -pv slang ncurses

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-libs/slang-1.4.9-r2  USE="unicode -cjk" 629 kB 
[ebuild   R   ] sys-libs/ncurses-5.6  USE="unicode -bootstrap -build -debug
-doc -gpm -minimal -nocxx -trace" 0 kB 

Total: 2 packages (2 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 629 kB

Well, re-emerge slang and try again.

Did that, it's all exactly the same

USE=unicode wont work with slang-1.x, you need slang-2.x

slang sucks anyways, dont USE=-ncurses
