Bug 562786 – sys-libs/ncurses-6: default include directory on Prefix

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Benda Xu 2015-10-11 03:47:55 UTC]

The configure script of ncurses-6 tests ${prefix} against "/usr" to determine whether the include files should go directly into /usr/include or into a subdirectory /usr/include/ncurses.

The "/usr" test fails with "${EPREFIX}/usr" on Prefix.  This behavior can be overriden by --enable-overwrite, which let headers always go into ${prefix}/include.

Patch attached.  Please review.

Reproducible: Always

move the comment inside the if statement and note that it's needed because the ncurses configure script will mess with the default otherwise
