In Puppy Linux, we use 'dialog' compiled with wide-character support, like this:

# export CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/include/ncursesw'
# ./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/bin --sbindir=/sbin
--libdir=/lib --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
--build=i486-pc-linux-gnu --enable-nls --with-ncursesw --enable-widec

dialog home:
http://invisible-island.net/dialog/dialog.html

I would like to suggest that T2 should also build dialog with wide-char support.

The dialog.conf in T2 has only this in it:

makeinstopt="$makeinstopt install-lib"

Could someone please help me to extend it to configure as I have shown above?

I don't remember how to export CPPFLAGS in a T2 .conf file ...I do
recall doing it once, a long time ago. I vaguely recall there is a
wrong way and a right way.

Also, I need to override some of the target paths.

Note, the version of dialog in T2 is very old. Puppy is currently
using version 1.1, which I downloaded 2010-04-28, so that is also a
bit old, but works fine.

Any assistance appreciated.
Regards,
Barry Kauler
