Re: Unknown type is curs_cio.c:865

Each month I update my Synchronet install with the latest CVS build, but the current one is failing to compile with the following error:

curs_cio.c: In function `curs_getch':
curs_cio.c:865:2: error: unknown type name `wint_t'; did you mean `uint8_t'?

Source tree is clean, and the machine is an Ubuntu 18.04 amd64.
I compile with the options: RELEASE=1 USE_DOSEMU=1 SYMLINK=1

A new depedency was added:

"Note:
On some Debian derived systems (e.g. Ubuntu Linux), libncurses-dev installs libncurses5-dev, and you get wint_t errors while building, you will need to install libncursesw5-dev."
