When compiled with NCurses 6.0, guile-ncurses 1.6 has one test failure:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
FAIL: curses_034_util.test

This was fine with NCurses 5.0.

This was fine with NCurses 5.0.
Any ideas?
(Run ‘guix build guile-ncurses’ with current Guix master to reproduce.)
Thanks in advance!

getwin/putwin save and restore a representation of a screen to a file.
That file format has changed for ncurses 6. Their binding is
probably the least robust of the many functions in guile-ncurses.
I'll see what I can do with regards to a fix.
FWIW, this particular failure is constrained to those two functions alone,
and doesn't indicate any other problems.

OK.
Any suggestions on how to fix it or work around it in Guix? Or maybe we
should just wait for whatever fix you come up with?
Thanks!

You could try adding ac_cv_func_fopencookie=no to the configure call.
If that works, that should be a legit fix.
Otherwise, I'll need a couple of days.
Or you could just remove the failing test curses_034_util.test from
test/Makefile.am. But that would be cheating. ;-)

Okay. I've tried some of the combinations of Guile, Ncurses and OS
and getwin/putwin is broken in different ways with different combinations.
No one uses those functions anyway, as far as I can tell.
I think the plan is to put out a guile-ncurses 1.7 that just eliminates
it. And then soon, put out a guile-ncurses 2.0 that will require guile-2.0.11+
and ncurses 6.0+, and re-evaluate whether it is worth it to fix
those functions.
I'll try to put out guile-ncurses 1.7 this week.

For now, Guix commit 3931607 skips the offending test.
