Patch for ncurses-5.3-r1.ebuild to enable wide character (UTF-8) support
I think it is bad to rename ncursesw to ncurses - some apps rely on ncursesw being a seperate library. Perhaps symlinks and ldscripts would be better. I was going to submit a enhancement request for this - but you beat me to it. I am opposed to overloading the USE flag nls in this manner - this should come under unicode, utf8 or widec. adding a dep since this has kinda to do with 18375 Did you ever tested to compile vim with your patch? Mine broke with a ncurses-w library only... tried with ncurses-5.4-r3 and vim-6.3, all is fine :) I attach my ncurses ebuild ( with IUSE="unicode" ), the patch is the same Created attachment 37181 [details]
sys-libs/ncurses/ncurses-5.4-r3.ebuild
I need this patch in portage, so please test it ;)
Thanks.
utf-8 support is now in ncurses-5.4-r4 Works fine now, at least for mutt. Thanks! *** Bug 44897 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
