3880	mc fails to link to ncurses built as two libraries: ncurses+tinfo. fails as: ./.libs/libinternal.a(tty-ncurses.o): undefined reference to symbol 'meta' /lib64/libtinfow.so.6: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line	slyfox	andrew_b	"When ncurses library is built with '''--with-termlib''' option
the resulting installation contains two libraries:

{{{
/lib64/libncurses.so.6
/lib64/libncursesw.so.6
/lib64/libtinfo.so.6
/lib64/libtinfow.so.6
}}}

As a result mc build fails as:

{{{
$ ./configure --with-screen=ncurses
$ make

  CCLD     mc
