If I have USE="-unicode", emerge htop-2.2.0 fails with 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.3.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: CRT.o: undefined reference to symbol 'keypad'

Setting USE="unicode", emerge htop is successful

emerge --info htop
Comment 2 Guillermo D. H. 2019-07-28 19:09:35 UTC 
Likely a consequence of setting USE=tinfo in the profiles.

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc ... -o htop ... CRT.o ... linux/Battery.o  -lncurses -lm  
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.3.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: CRT.o: undefined reference to symbol 'keypad'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.3.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /lib64/libtinfo.so.6: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line

nm -D libtinfo.so.6.1 | grep keypad
0000000000013200 T keypad
0000000000013170 T _nc_keypad

And no -ltinfo in gcc's command line. Another one for bug #457530 I guess.
Comment 3 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-08-04 11:56:35 UTC 
This issue requires special attention. 
Seems like the upstream author put extra (uselessly?) complicated effort into checking for either ncurses with unicode support and ncurses without unicode support depending on the --(en|dis)able-unicode configure switch. 
He even wrote his own m4 macros for that... m(
Comment 4 Jaco Kroon 2020-01-20 10:48:23 UTC 
Workaround:  LDFLAGS=-ltinfo emerge -1av htop

Would love to see some kind of fix on this.  Gettng somewhat annoying.
Comment 5 Rolf Eike Beer archtester 2020-12-02 21:46:43 UTC
