Summary
Search terminal-info libraries when curses support is enabled.
Some distributions split terminal state functions out of ncurses/ncursesw, so linking curses code can require an additional
tinfow,tinfo, ortermcaplibrary. This is a refreshed version of the old #368 idea, withtinfowchecked first so the current ncursesw path keeps the matching wide-character terminal-info library when needed.Supersedes #368.
Authorship note: the branch keeps Jeroen Roovers as the commit author for the refreshed #368 libtinfo lookup, with the current-tree adaptation co-authored by Darafei.
Validation
./bootstrap.sh./configure --without-gtk --without-janssonwprintw,initscr, andrawmake -j $(nproc)git diff --checkuv run --python 3.9 --with flake8==3.9.2 --with flake8-bandit==2.1.2 --with bandit==1.7.2 --with pbr==7.0.3 python -m flake8 .The build still prints the existing
ui/split.csnprintftruncation warnings on this compiler; those warnings are present on the current code path and are not introduced by this PR.
