my apologies for not coming back at you after I raised that inquiry.
To my surprise, that patch we needed for quite a while in order to get
zsh/curses module compiled correctly against ncurses with separate tinfo
lib, now seems to be no longer necessary. I can only guess that it
might have been a toolchain issue back then or perhaps an older ncurses
lib that had the symbols in the wrong lib or a broken ncurses pkgconfig
file...
But in the end the patch is no longer necessary to be applied to zsh
sources because the curses module now gets correctly linked without
this patch as well.
Kind regards
