I ported the wchar support from 64tass project, but it is under GPLv2+.
@irmen would it be possible to permit me to distribute your wchar.c under LGPLv3+ or LGPLv2.1+? Otherwise it may be problematic to include into djgpp libc or its forks (like this one).
64tass is not my project, it's a clone of the official repository on SourceForge https://sourceforge.net/projects/tass64/ by Soci.
You should ask the original author there. I can't make this decision.
Ok, thank you for info. I filled the ticket there: https://sourceforge.net/p/tass64/feature-requests/25/
Got the LGPLv3+ permission from Soci by the above URL.
@jwt27 now that dj64dev have some unicode support (enough to build ncurses with wchar support), maybe you are interested in porting this to djgpp as well.
Interesting, thanks for the ping. But would you believe... there was already a wchar patch for djgpp, submitted way back in 1998 :)
As I understand it was decided to look at this for 2.06, but that didn't happen yet. Who knows if it ever will.

The link mentioned here is down, and archive.org doesn't have it either. I thought I had it saved somewhere, but can't seem to find it again. Ping @apavenis ?
In order to compile modern ncurses, we need wchar support.
