For the lazy, you can also install ncurses5-compat-libs package from my personal repository.

This PKGBUILD verifies the authenticity of the source via PGP signatures which are not part of the Arch Linux keyring. In order to complete the process it is necessary to import the key(s) from the ‘validpgpkeys’ array into the user’s keyring before calling makepkg. There is a helpful article explaining this process by one of Arch Linux's developers located here: http://allanmcrae.com/2015/01/two-pgp-keyrings-for-package-management-in-arch-linux/

Instructions on importing keys from a keyserver and how to automate the retrieval process can be found in the Arch Linux wiki here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Use_a_keyserver This article also contains helpful information describing the installation of GnuPG, its configuration and usage.

Execute the following to import keys using gpg:

gpg --recv-keys <KEYID - See 'validpgpkeys' array in PKGBUILD>

The PGP signature check can be skipped by passing --skippgpcheck to makepkg.

Consult the makepkg manual page for a full list of options. [https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/makepkg.8.html]

b186fd9ae86a, which adopts yan12125 PKGBUILD, broke adom (https://michael.plotke.me/adom-mess.png).

Running on Steam deck, I have this when attempting a makepkg -si

checking if this is really Clang C compiler... no
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed

All files except the .a libs are already provided by arch's ncurses package. You are free to not delete the static libraries if you need them.

Why are these files removed?

rm -rf "$pkgdir/usr/include/" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/pkgconfig" "$pkgdir"/usr/lib/.so "$pkgdir"/usr/lib/.a

They are useful for static linking.

sorry guys, forgot to enable notifications for this package. Just updated the package.

I can confirm that yan12125's PKGBUILD works well.

Regarding the issue discussed in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1978673, could you consider building libncurses.so.5 from sources instead of symlinking it to libncursesw.so.5? Upstream says:

You cannot simply make a symbolic link to equate libncurses.so with libncursesw.so

Here is modified PKGBUILD: https://fars.ee/hdcO

When running stata (the CLI interface, not xstata which is the GUI), if you get this error:

stata: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Install this package to fix it
