Details

Description: I was trying to compile a program (vuurmuur) that requires ncurses. When he found /usr/include/ncursesw he tried to use the includes ncursesw/ncurses.h, ncursesw/form.h, ncursesw/panel.h and ncurses/menu.h.

I solved the problem, adding the symlinks to the files in /usr/include as ncursesw/ncurses.h is linked.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
- ncurses 5.6-6
This task depends upon

I have this link for some reason.

Though, i rather consider this would need a path to the application than to ncurses, since ncursesw is not a "standard".

You can specify the path of ncurses libraries in the vuurmuur configure.
