Description:

Software often expects wide ncurses headers to be under the /usr/include/ncursesw/ directory. That directory is missing, and its headers are located directly under /usr/include/ instead. This breaks installation of such software and confuses the novice user.

Please provide symlinks to the appropriate headers (ncurses.h, panel.h, others?) under the ncursesw/ directory so that they may be used by software that expects them to be there.


Additional info:

On most systems, #include <ncurses.h> will provide a plain version of the library, not the one that supports unicode. Changing the software to use ncurses.h instead of ncursesw/ncurses.h would therefore break compatibility with non-Arch users.

Using a configuration script to fix this problem on a per-software basis seems like overkill, especially when the software is simple enough not to have need for one anyway.


Steps to reproduce:

Compile a program that expects the ncurses headers to be located in /usr/include/ncursesw/.
