Created attachment 357756 [details, diff]
Use pkg-config in Makefile for ncurses ldflags

Incremental patch that replaces -lncursesw with pkg-config --libs ncursesw. Package builds and works.

[Comment 2 Pacho Ramos 2013-10-13 16:59:12 UTC]

looks like it doesn't apply cleanly anymore :(

[Comment 3 Zoltan Puskas 2013-10-28 16:10:09 UTC]

The attached patch still works for me with app-misc/pal-0.4.3-r1. I have placed it "as is" into "/etc/portage/patches/app-misc/pal-0.4.3-r1". What is the output for you in emerge? My use flags are:

# equery uses pal
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[        : I - package is installed with flag     ]
[ Colors : set, unset                             ]
 * Found these USE flags for app-misc/pal-0.4.3-r1:
 U I
 + + nls     : Add Native Language Support (using gettext - GNU locale utilities)
 + + unicode : Add support for Unicode

app-misc/pal-0.4.3-r1 build log

The complete build log is not too long. Patch applies cleanly. Portage tree is also up to date.

[Comment 5 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2014-10-28 22:11:57 UTC]

Fixed without revision bump. Sorry, I missed that patch there.
