Bash 5.1 and Ncurses

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

I configured Bash 5.1 with prefix=/usr/local, --with-curses and
--enable-multibyte. The link failed with undefined references, like
tputs. I have the wide char Ncurses built and installed in /usr/local.
I found I needed to add -ltinfow to LIBS and LDLIBS for the build to
succeed.

I'm pretty sure we are supposed to use the wide character version of
Ncurses nowadays. I believe the wide character version supplies both
multibyte and single byte functions, so it should just work with all
software nowadays.

It seems like configure should be able to find the Ncurses library.
Maybe Ncurses needs one of those  --with-libncurses-prefix.
