This is a new ebuild for PDCurses (a public domain curses library for X11) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 60121 [details] x11-libs/xcurses/xcurses-2.6.ebuild
This library is necessary to build The Hessling Editor under X. (See bug #94413)
.
It emerges fine here using your ebuild.

Oh, and one more thing, you could port this ebuild to Xorg 7.0, before someone commits it.
Well, the new version (2.8) works even without MAKEOPTS="-j1" after a small fix.
Created attachment 93524 [details] x11-libs/pdcurses/pdcurses-2.8.ebuild This is the ebuild for the new version. There are still some problems (the man-pages aren't really man pages and the library should be named libXcurses.so.2.8 instead of just libXcurses.so)
Created attachment 93526 [details, diff] pdcurses/files/pdcurses-2.8-configure.patch ... this patch is NOT needed for my ebuild. But if someone makes changes to configure.ac, this patch fixes flaws in configure.ac (which produced errors when using eautoreconf to re-generate the configure-script)
Created attachment 93528 [details] x11-libs/pdcurses/pdcurses-2.8.ebuild There were some bugs in my first ebuild.
Created attachment 94040 [details, diff] x11-libs/pdcurses/files/pdcurses-2.8-configure.patch Patch re-worked.
Created attachment 94041 [details] x11-libs/pdcurses/pdcurses-2.8.ebuild Ebuild re-worked.
This ebuild is now in the Gentoo Sunrise Overlay. If you don't have the overlay on your machine (via layman for example), you can get the ebuild directly from here: http://gentoo-sunrise.org/svn/reviewed/x11-libs/pdcurses
pdcurses-3.4 available at Sunrise: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/browser/reviewed/x11-libs/pdcurses
Hello, everyone. It seems that at least one ebuild related to this bug exists in the Sunrise overlay at the moment. However, I have to regretfully announce that after a long inactivity period the Sunrise project has been discontinued and the related overlay will be eventually removed. For this reason, I'd like to ask you to reevaluate the ebuilds and consider moving them. If you'd like to maintain a package from Sunrise in Gentoo, please take a look at our Proxy Maintainers [1] project. Please make sure to take ebuilds from the unreviewed developer Sunrise repository [2] rather than the -reviewed one, since the latter has not been updated for over a year. While at it, please note that: 1. Adding a package to Gentoo requires declaring yourself as an active maintainer for it. All bugs regarding the package will be assigned to you, and you will be expected to maintain it. 2. Some packages may not be suitable for addition anymore. While there's no strong rules that would prevent you from adding a package, it may be a bad idea to add old-unmaintained packages that will shortly result in a large number of bugs reported with no solution. If that is the case, please close the bug as RESOLVED/OBSOLETE to make it easier to find packages worth adding. 3. Some of the bugs were already closed as WONTFIX/OBSOLETE/... while the relevant ebuild was kept in Sunrise. If you disagree with the original decision, you still can add the ebuild via proxy-maint. 4. Pleaes note that many of the Sunrise ebuilds are old and may be buggy. If you decide to move them, please make sure to update/clean them up. The proxy-maint team will also review your ebuilds, therefore making sure they land in Gentoo in good quality. Once again, thank you for your contribution. We hope that you will still want to contribute to Gentoo, through proxy-maint or otherwise.
