G'day. The libcdk5 has a configure option of --with-ncursesw which adds wide character support to libcdk, giving a /usr/lib/libcdkw.so.5.0. I guess this could be done by either adding ncursesw as a dependancy to libcdk5 or by having a new libcdkw5 package which depends on ncursesw.
Hello Philip Nelson, Years ago you asked for libcdkw. I did the update of libcdk5 to version 5.0.20141106. Now I want to close this bug (wishlist). Can you tell me if with ncursesw support something changes in doc/, man/ and cdk5-config ? regards,
