Package: libncursesw5-dev Version: 5.9+20150516-2 X-Debbugs-Cc: Daiki Ueno <u...@gnu.org> Control: affects -1 pinentry Control: tags -1 upstream Control: forwarded -1 https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ncurses/2015-06/msg00053.html
Over on gnupg-devel, we're trying to sort out some issues with ncursesw support, starting here: https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2015-June/030051.html It looks like libncursesw5-dev's pkg-config file is a bit confused compared to the pkg-config files shipped by fedora for some reason. This issue has been reported upstream and the upstream dev is aware of it -- if it could be fixed in debian when upstream has it fixed, that'd be nice for the sake of a clean build of pinentry. Regards, --dkg

I observed a couple of things: - On Debian, pkg-config ncursesw --cflags returns: -D_GNU_SOURCE -I/usr/include/ -I/usr/include/ncursesw where the first -I is superfluous and causing the problem, as there is /usr/include/curses.h. This might be a bug in ncurses upstream (I've reported it). - On Fedora, /usr/include/{,ncurses/,ncursesw/}curses.h are identical and have the addnwstr declaration. This is legitimate because the header file for the wide-character configuration is upper compatible with the non-wide-character version, as noted in ncurses/INSTALL. > Maybe there's some other way to fix this cleanly? I guess the cleaner way is either to fix the former issue (though it might be a bit fragile to rely on the -I order), or to change the packaging like the latter. Regards, -- Daiki Ueno
