[PATCH v2 for-6.2] meson.build: Support ncurses on MacOS and OpenBSD
Posted by Stefan Weil 4 years, 2 months ago 
MacOS provides header files for curses 5.7 with support
for wide characters, but requires _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1
to activate that.

By default those old header files are used even if there
is a newer Homebrew installation of ncurses 6.2 available.

Change also the old macro definition of NCURSES_WIDECHAR
and set it to 1 like it is done in newer versions of
curses.h when _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1 is defined.

OpenBSD has the same version of ncurses and needs the same fix.

v2:
- Only define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED when curses.h is used.
- Extended to fix OpenBSD, too (untested!)
