ax_with_curses

Synopsis

     AX_WITH_CURSES

Description

Detect SysV compatible curses, such as ncurses.

Defines HAVE_CURSES_H or HAVE_NCURSES_H if curses is found. CURSES_LIB is also set with the required library, but is not appended to LIBS automatically. If no working curses library is found CURSES_LIB will be left blank. If CURSES_LIB is set in the environment, the supplied value will be used.

There are two options: –with-ncurses forces the use of ncurses, and –with-ncursesw forces the use of ncursesw (wide character ncurses). The corresponding options –without-ncurses and –without-ncursesw force those libraries not to be used. By default, ncursesw is preferred to ncurses, which is preferred to plain curses.

ax_cv_curses is set to "yes" if any curses is found (including ncurses!); ax_cv_ncurses is set to "yes" if any ncurses is found, and ax_cv_ncursesw is set to "yes" if ncursesw is found.
