Subject: [PATCH] configure.ac: check for has_colors symbol in curses lib
Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2019 16:55:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191211155507.22181-1-polynomial-c@gentoo.org> (raw)

Otherwise zsh/curses module won't get built if ncurses was built with
separate tinfo lib.
One could still force-build the module but loading it later yields the
following error message:

  failed to load module `zsh/curses': /usr/lib64/zsh/5.7.1/zsh/curses.so:
  undefined symbol: COLORS

That is because the final linker call requires -lncurses(w) but it only
contains -ltinfo(w).
