BUG: BitchX-1.1 build fails with ncurses installed

[dreness (Andre LaBranche)]

BitchX does not build successfully when ncurses is installed, but seems fine otherwise. The specific error is:

In file included from alias.c:36:
/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports_irc_bitchx/work/BitchX/include/ircterm.h:19:31: error: ncurses/termcap.h: No such file or directory

even though /opt/local/include/ncurses/termcap.h is there, and is detected in the configure phase.

Put summary in correct form.

This was ​reported again on the mailing list today. Even installing ncurses does not help this. It looks like bitchx 1.1 is 3 years old, but there is a newer version 1.1a from August 2007. The maintainer should update this port.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Sorry, I just reread the original issue: of course installing ncurses does not help this, because the issue apparently only occurs when ncurses is installed.

I'm pretty sure this was fixed in r34857 - I can't reproduce the failure. However, it needs to declare its dependency on ncurses.
