I was trying to build alsa-utils (lib built fine) but it seems stuck on libpanelw. ... checking for ncursesw5-config... yes checking for curses library... ncursesw checking for curses header name... <ncurses.h> checking for curses compiler flags... -I/usr/include/ncursesw checking for curses NLS support... yes ... checking for new_panel in -lpanelw... no configure: error: panelw library not found
And I have panelw
$ locate libpanelw /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpanelw.so.5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpanelw.so.5.9
And created symbolic link
$ ll /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpanelw* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Jan 19 15:14 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpanelw.so -> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpanelw.so.5
Any reasons this would happen?
So it works now? That missing link would appear to be a bug of your distribution's package.
Btw if it do ./gitcompile --with-curses=ncurses --disable-xmlto it works fine
This does not uses libpanelw but libpanel (which apparently exists). (w = wide-character support for non-ASCII locales)
