Description Krzysztof Kotlenga 2006-06-27 18:08:18 UTC

readline-devel should require ncurses-devel. For example, when doing rpmbuild of fvwm2 package, it fails to detect libreadline. fvwm2 BuildRequires readline-devel BUT NOT ncurses-devel OR termcap (fvwm2 configure script tries both "-lreadline -ltermcap" and "-lreadline -lncurses"). When one of those is installed, fvwm2 builds fine with support for readline.

Comment 1 Dr. Werner Fink 2006-08-07 11:03:32 UTC

I've add %{_libdir}/libncurses.so which is fulfilled with ncurses-devel.
This is for the next openSuSE release.

I hope you're aware that autobuild and the build service ignores file dependencies...

Comment 3 Dr. Werner Fink 2006-08-07 12:39:33 UTC

Yes I do IMHO a developer using autobuild or build should be able to switch
between ncurses and termcap. And he/she should be able to set the correct
BuildRequire for this.
