I cannot get forms working at all - compilation errors. Even when I tweak the ncurses ebuild to not delete the form.h from /usr/include - no go. Can you still get this working? No response, no effort, no bug. |
By default, the ebuild is configured to NOT do forms support, but I believe this can be added easily enough by editing Curses.c and inserting this line #include "/usr/include/form.h" AFTER this line #include "<c-config.h>" Then, the ebuild should be modified by changing myconf="${myconf} PANELS MENUS GEN" to myconf="${myconf} PANELS MENUS FORMS GEN" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. I can attempt to create a new ebuild file if you can point me to instructions on how to do so.
