Looking at configure.ac, the library is chosen using this line:
AC_SEARCH_LIBS(waddstr, [ncursesw ncurses cursesX curses])
Then, looking at my config.cache, I see this line:
ac_cv_search_waddstr=${ac_cv_search_waddstr=-lncursesw}
So I suppose that if you pass ac_cv_search_waddstr=-lncurses to
configure, it will just use that instead of probing.
