#11194 closed enhancement (fixed)

ncurses port should use --enable-sigwinch

Description

Unlike a lot of other operating systems, the ncurses shipped with OS X isn't compiled with --enable-sigwinch, which means a lot of applications need to define their own SIGWINCH handler. MacPorts does the same. It would be a lot easier if the ncurses port would pass --enable-sigwinch to ./configure as well.

version 5.6 has sigwinch handler enabled by default, but stating it explicitly in Portfile will not hurt. From the NEWS file: 20060415

+ add configure check to ensure that SIGWINCH is defined on platforms

such as OS X which exclude that when _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., are defined (report by Nicholas Cole)
