Missing shared library for C++ bindings

[mestag_a]

Hello,

I wanted to write an application using the C++ bindings of the ncurses library.

I am using Archlinux and ncurses 5.9 which I got with the package manager.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any shared library with the C++ bindings (i.e no libncurses++.so).

I downloaded the sources and tried to compile it myself, I used the with-shared option, but no shared library is compiled for the C++ bindings.

Is it a "bug" or a "desired issue" ? Or did I miss something ?

I asked about this issue here, and that's where someone pointed out the "no generation of libncurses++" issue.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Regards,

Alexis MESTAG
