Platforms built without a separate `libtinfo.so` fail to detect terminal

Opened this issue 7 years ago · 1 comments

native-platform links against libtinfo.so, but the symbols for this library can also be found in libncurses for some platforms (those built without --with-termlib).

This causes Gradle to fail to detect that the console supports rich output (ANSI codes, colors, etc).

Symlinking libtinfo.so.6 to libncurses.so.6 is enough to work around this.

Same idea as in #24 (comment) (manually loading the libraries so we can fallback to alternative implementation).
