That was actually a fix for a previous commit that switched to use ncursesw. It was supposed to be temporary, but as it works in Debian, there's been no hurry to fix it. I've committed a proper fix now: <http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commitdiff;h=51926eeb> > As noted below, Arch places the 'cursesw.h' file in a different location to > where *dpkg* is looking for it: > `--> ls -l /usr/include/*cursesw* > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49K 2008-11-15 09:35 /usr/include/cursesw.h > > However, there only seems to be one 'term.h' file in that directory and > there's no 'ncursesw' subdirectory. > > Consequently, I added the following lines to the top of my aforementioned > 'build' script: > sed -i "s|<ncursesw/curses.h>|<cursesw.h>|g" dselect/{dselect.h,Makefile.in} > || return 1 > sed -i "s|<ncursesw/term.h>|<term.h>|g" dselect/main.cc || return 1 The ‘cursesw.h’ file is a different one than ‘ncursesw/curses.h’, or ‘curses.h’. So either apply the above patch or replace the include with just ‘<curses.h>’. > That fixed the original compilation errors, but the following new ones have > surfaced. Let me know how I can overcome them. This is also due to using the wrong header. Once you start using again the correct one, this will get fixed as well. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
