Compilation fails about sdl-jstest

[Grumbel]

Something wrong with ncurses/tinfo. stdscr is provided by libtinfo, so it's probably missing a -ltinfo, cmake should however check for that. You could try:

Make sure that tinfo is installed.

In CMakeLists.txt add the line:

set(CURSES_NEED_NCURSES TRUE)

before:

find_package(Curses REQUIRED)

compile with:

make VERBOSE=1

Start compilation from a clean checkout if you haven't. ncurses6 is relatively new, no there might be issues when it was previously compiled with ncurses5.

It compiles fine with the the variable set, thanks.

$ make VERBOSE=1                                                                                                                                                  15:24

I can see no other issues in the verbose output.
