I'm not sure what's up here. IIRC, we don't install the ncurses *.pc
files. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.
It would seem that we don't. In fact so far as I'm aware, ncurses doesn't even
provide such a thing. Instead it provides it's own pkg-config like utility
called
"ncursesw60config" which you can use if you like.
Personally however I don't like either approach. I think it much cleaner and
more
reliably to explicitly state which path(s) and libraries you need rather than
to
rely on some wierd script to guess it for you.
