Hi
Alpine does not build-depend on libncursesw5-dev, which means that while
you can read exotic characters, you cannot write them without messing up
the terminal. I have no need for this myself but got a request about it,
and since it seems valid I'll report it here :)
Dear alpine maintainers and community members,
Is building alpine with libncursesw the right way to make "exotic
character" input as well as output work?
I haven't done extensive development in this curses world, so I thought I'd
ask you guys. If so, I'll naturally change to the Debian package so that
it builds against the wide ncurses.
If instead alpine has been written intending to link to libncurses not
libncursesw, then let me know!
No reply..
Right. Inputting Résumé seems to work fine for me without building with
ncursesw. What doesn't work for you that needs it?
