Created attachment 387874 [details, diff] ncurses-5.9.20141025.patch I took the effort to get ncurses building for MinGW (requires a newer version). Hopefully this patch is helpful when the maintainers decide to add a newer ebuild to the tree. Rationale behind changes: - At least ncurses-5.9-rxvt-unicode-9.15.patch and ncurses-5.9-fix-clang-build.patch are included in the mainline patches. I did not investigate whether ncurses-5.9-pkg-config.patch is still necessary in some form - it did not apply cleanly. - Upstream's --with-pkg-config now requires an absolute path, so I gave it one using $(which ...) - MinGW builds require two additional configure flags: --enable-sp-funcs --enable-term-driver - The libcurses.dll link is unnecessary and broken for MinGW (the ncurses build system sets up the necessary libcurses.dll.a on its own) - Removing *.a was deleting the import libraries, so I added an exception for *.dll.a, which are stubs needed to link to the shared libraries.
