Summary0010347: FindCurses does not find unicode/wide flavors
DescriptionFindCurses does not find unicode/wide flavors. Please find attached a new FindCurses.cmake that does search for the extra libraries.

In the form of the file from before, there's a parameter, CURSES_NEED_WIDE, that causes the module to search for ncursesw instead of ncurses.

I started with the 2.6 module when I edited. The only difference I see between the 2.6 module and the 2.8 module is some comment boilerplate near the top; presumably adding that boilerplate would make this work for 2.8 also, although I'm just using "whatever it is that ubuntu has in the repo":
$ cmake --version
cmake version 2.6-patch 2

Specifically I did this for the mojosetup project:

 Hello,

We came across this issue after some GNU Data Language (GDL) users reported unicode-related regression after switching from autoconf to CMake. It would certainly be great to have this feature in CMake!

Could you please also suggest some workaround for older CMake versions? Is it best to simply include the modified FindCurses.cmake file posted here (renamed?) and after it gets into CMake add some condition on CMake versoin?

Thanks, regards,
Sylwester

 For reference, some re-organization of FindCurses was done for 0015011 recently:

 FindCurses: Overhaul Curses and NCurses search logic
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=6c8364e6 [^]

Further changes should be rebased on at least that version.

 Re 0010347:0036416: The changes linked in 0010347:0036422 should make it easier to support additional curses headers and libraries, but the FindCurses attached here will need to be updated to take them into account.

To work with older versions you can put the module in your project and list its location in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH. This is quite common. Often modules start that way and are later upstreamed in CMake.
