#41 Issues compiling curs_cio.c on OpenBSD 6.8

[Anonymous]

Hey there, Deuce. Just wanted to drop you a line and see if this was a bug, or if maybe there is some dependency that I didn't see listed anywhere for building on OpenBSD 6.8. I was trying to build SyncTERM 1.1 on a pretty freshly installed OBSD system when I ran into the following error during compilation:

Digital Man had stated that this was due to missing the correct 'wide' implementation of ncurses, but as far as I can tell, my installed ncurses has 'wide' support. I have looked high and low for an equivalent to a linux '-dev' version of ncurses to get compiled and set up on OpenBSD and haven't been able to find anything. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

FYI: This bug in OBSD compilation was solved by the patch that you posted about in DOVE-Net.
