Motivation for this change
  1. Don't remove static libraries if they're asked for! This seems to be the intended behavior for enableStatic, and only changes behavior when intentionally opt'ing into a static ncurses.

cc @Ericson2314 (introduced the option in 3a672cb)

  1. Also the flag for this is --enable-normal, see ./configure --help and particularly the INSTALL file for description.
Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Looks like this was fixed similarly by @shlevy ( af315bb ) -- although that makes the libtinfo link which I didn't here so looks like this is not needed :).

I was looking at using ncurses' ability to create libtinfo itself (see INSTALL docs, IIRC --with-termlib) but that generates split libraries which is just fine for static but for shared might be less desired.

Why has this issue been around for months and both of us hit it the same day? 😀
