Details

Description:
When attempting to run an application with the wine console (n)curses backend, wine throws the following error:

err:curses:WCCURSES_InitBackend (n)curses was not found at configuration time.
If you want (n)curses support, please install relevant packages.

package version: multilib/wine 1.5.26-1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run an application with the curses backend:
wineconsole --backend=curses PROGRAM.exe
2. Wine reports the above error.

Possible fix (works for me):
Patch the PKGBUILD:

# Allow ccache to work
mv $pkgname-$_pkgbasever $pkgname

# ncurses fix
sed -i 's|libncurses|libncursesw|g' "$srcdir/$pkgname/configure"
sed -i 's|lncurses|lncursesw|g' "$srcdir/$pkgname/configure"

# Get rid of old build dirs
This task depends upon
