Apparently it incidentally doesn't fail with my USE flags.

Please attach the entire build log to this bug report.

previous versions of mc also fail

[Comment 3 Michael Vasiliev 2014-10-28 00:01:20 UTC]

Jeroen, could you show your enabled USE flags for this ebuild?

USE=slang works fine! ;-)

This should work and make upstream happy as well.

When built against sys-libs/ncurses[-tinfo] it neatly prints:

checking for library containing addwstr... -lncursesw
checking for library containing stdscr... none required

and in the other case, it prints:

checking for library containing addwstr... -lncursesw
checking for library containing stdscr... -ltinfo

Needless to say this requires you to run eautoreconf at the end of src_prepare().

Thanks guys!

Upstream is a bit reluctant admitting the bug, but I hope we'll find a way :]
