Subject: bug#50444: Remove support for the curses library
Date: Tue, 7 Sep 2021 02:28:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADwFkmkTRZFiaSFz1d+fKiVwKWdP-AC8g87D4YngiAo4wraMNw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
Building with curses is, according to Paul Eggert:
"Completely broken" in the sense it won't link and Emacs won't build,
yes. (It will link in master, due to a patch I installed recently.)
And yes, the original curses library has been obsolete for at least two
decades.
See the discussion here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2021-01/msg00416.html
The conclusion from that thread AFAIU is that support for curses
should be removed. (We should keep ncurses though.)
