[fpc-pascal] ncurses 6

2020-02-14 Thread Kevin Monceaux
Pascal Fans, The ncurses and oCRT example programs appear to have an issue with ncurses 6. Attempting to compile them gets an undefined reference to symbol 'keypad' error. Adding {$LINKLIB tinfow} to the affected programs works around the issue. The ncurses units might need to use: pkg-con
