Package: ncurses Severity: wishlist Tags: patch It would be very useful to have a lib32ncursesw5 in addition to the other lib32 ncurses libraries. I've attached a patch to version 5.6 +20071124-1 which provides lib32ncursesw5 and lib32ncursesw5-dev packages.
There's one less-than-admirable part of the patch, namely explicitly setting BUILD_CPPFLAGS="-D_GNU_SOURCE". That flag is required to compile the wide character support, and configure correctly figures out that it is needed, but unfortunately it's not passed on to the native build flags if cross-compiling. Thanks! Diab Jerius P.S. The request for this is driven by the recent release of one of the major astronomy software packages (CIAO, from http://asc.harvard.edu/ciao/). Unfortunately the only binary packages are for Fedora. While source is provided (and it's GPL'd), CIAO is not simple to compile, so without lib32ncursesw, most Debian x86_64 users will not be able to run it. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-xen-vserver-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
