# SYNOPSIS
#
# AX_WITH_NCURSES
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# This macro checks for an ncurses library with enhanced definitions
# providing a curses.h either in the default search path or as
# established by pkg-config.
#
# It is based on the AX_WITH_CURSES macro but does not attempt
# to find any non-standard header, which would require #ifdefing
# over all the possible headers or using a computed #include.
# This would complicate ncurses detection unnecessarily especially
# since Scinterm needs to include a curses header as well.
# ncurses packages, which do not ship a pkg-config script and
# do not install curses.h into a standard include path
# (e.g. NetBSD's pkgsrc ncurses package) will *not* be detected
# by this macro unless defining CURSES_CFLAGS.
#
# The following preprocessor symbols may be defined by this macro if the
# appropriate conditions are met:
#
# HAVE_CURSES - if any SysV or X/Open Curses library found
# HAVE_CURSES_ENHANCED - if library supports X/Open Enhanced functions
# HAVE_CURSES_COLOR - if library supports color (enhanced functions)
# HAVE_CURSES_OBSOLETE - if library supports certain obsolete features
# HAVE_NCURSESW - if NcursesW (wide char) library is to be used
# HAVE_NCURSES - if the Ncurses library is to be used
#
# HAVE_CURSES_H - if <curses.h> is present and should be used
#
# (These preprocessor symbols are discussed later in this document.)
#
# The following output variables are defined by this macro; they are
# precious and may be overridden on the ./configure command line:
#
# CURSES_LIBS - library to add to xxx_LDADD
# CURSES_CFLAGS - include paths to add to xxx_CPPFLAGS
#
# If CURSES_LIBS is set on the configure command line (such as by running
# "./configure CURSES_LIBS=-lmycurses"), then the only header searched for
# is <curses.h>. If the user needs to specify an alternative path for a
# library (such as for a non-standard NcurseW), the user should use the
# LDFLAGS variable.
#
# The following shell variables may be defined by this macro:
#
# ax_cv_curses - set to "yes" if any Curses library found
# ax_cv_curses_enhanced - set to "yes" if Enhanced functions present
# ax_cv_curses_color - set to "yes" if color functions present
# ax_cv_curses_obsolete - set to "yes" if obsolete features present
#
# ax_cv_ncursesw - set to "yes" if NcursesW library found
# ax_cv_ncurses - set to "yes" if Ncurses library found
# ax_cv_curses_which - set to "ncursesw", "ncurses", "plaincurses" or "no"
#
# These variables can be used in your configure.ac to determine the level
# of support you need from the Curses library. For example, if you must
# have either Ncurses or NcursesW, you could include:
#
# AX_WITH_NCURSES
# if test "x$ax_cv_ncursesw" != xyes && test "x$ax_cv_ncurses" != xyes; then
# AC_MSG_ERROR([requires either NcursesW or Ncurses library])
# fi
#
# HAVE_CURSES_OBSOLETE and ax_cv_curses_obsolete are defined if the
# library supports certain features present in SysV and BSD Curses but not
# defined in the X/Open definition. In particular, the functions
# getattrs(), getcurx() and getmaxx() are checked.
