lesstest: use pkg-config to find ncurses libraries

[thesamesam]

Fails to build with split tinfo otherwise like:

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -pipe -march=native -fdiagnostics-color=always -frecord-gcc-switches -Wreturn-type      -ggdb3 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--defsym=__gentoo_check_ldflags__=0 -Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs    -ggdb3 -o lesstest display.o env.o lesstest.o parse.o pipeline.o log.o run.o term.o wchar.o -lncurses
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/13/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: display.o: in function `display_screen':
/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/less-643/work/less-643/lesstest/display.c:86:(.text+0x2e0): undefined reference to `tgoto'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/13/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: term.o: in function `setup_mode':
/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/less-643/work/less-643/lesstest/term.c:83:(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `tgetstr'
[...]

Going forward, we may want to just add a Makefile.in which configure handles to the lesstest subdir.

Thank you for this, however, I'm still unable to run tests after applying the patch. Received the following:

ERR  status 256 from /usr/local/tmp/crew/less.20230814224036.dir/less-643/lesstest/lesstest  -e -s '/usr/local/tmp/crew/less.20230814224036.dir/less-643/lesstest/lt_screen' -t '/usr/local/tmp/crew/less.20230814224036.dir/less-643/lesstest/lt/subsearch.lt' '/usr/local/tmp/crew/less.20230814224036.dir/less-643/less'

The library does exist and the library search path includes this location.

$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib64
$ ls -l /usr/local/lib64/libtinfow.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 chronos chronos 16 Jan  5  2023 /usr/local/lib64/libtinfow.so.6 -> libtinfow.so.6.4

Any other suggestions?

[thesamesam]

I assume LD_LIBRARY_PATH is definitely exported (not just set)?

Can you reproduce it if you run /usr/local/tmp/crew/less.20230814224036.dir/less-643/lesstest/lesstest -e -s '/usr/local/tmp/crew/less.20230814224036.dir/less-643/lesstest/lt_screen' -t '/usr/local/tmp/crew/less.20230814224036.dir/less-643/lesstest/lt/subsearch.lt' '/usr/local/tmp/crew/less.20230814224036.dir/less-643/less' manually after failure?

Hey @thesamesam,
Thanks for the quick response. Yes, I can reproduce.
