[Lynx-dev] Re: Unicode & Ncursesw

[purslow]

i installed the patched version of Ncursesw which you recommended.

(1) NB the Ncurses default for  --prefix  is  /usr , not  /usr/local ,
which is what './configure --help' says; luckily, i caught it.

(2) there is no difference in behaviour wrt the Unicode test files.

(3) there is a difference in treatment of background color:
using 'ncursesw', 'default' gives black & 'white' grey (Xterm & Konsole);
using 'ncurses', 'default' gives white.

(4) the error at the end of 'install-full' which i mentioned yesterday
does not occur when using 'ncursesw'.

it looks as if more needs to be done to get Unicode fully working on Lynx.

HTH & thanx for your prompt responses, as always (smile).
