Description
Hello -
I wanted to report that I have had issues with libtinfo building issues on Solus:
`/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltinfo`
I took a look through the tickets that have been closed, and I know this has been a ticket that has been opened and closed numerous times. I'm opening another one, though, to ask that the project actually be updated to use libncurses 6 instead of relying on manual symlink creation or packages that create the symlinks? libncurses 6 came out back in 2015, so I'm not sure why Haskeline still requires libtinfo. It would help out everyone on systems that do not have the appropriate symlinks if Haskeline itself was simply updated to use the new libs. Is there some reason that's preventing the update of Haskeline to use libncurses directly vs. libtinfo?
Thanks.
