With the big 6.0 refactor, the constants generation done at build time now requires a proper TERM variable at compile time. While this is generally available when building from a terminal, a lot of building happens without a terminal (from an IDE, in CI, ...). In these environment, ncurses currently fails to build properly.
Builds on github CI require manually injecting TERM=xterm in the builder environment for all users of this library.
For other environments like docs.rs, there is no clear way to make it build (which is why https://docs.rs/ncurses still shows the last version that still built, 5.101.0).
It would be a good idea to inject this TERM=xterm during the build process if no TERM is set.
