[new release] curses (1.0.10)

[mbacarella]

Bindings to ncurses

• Project page: https://github.com/mbacarella/curses

CHANGES:

• Updated to dune-lang 2.7, so that we don't have that generated .opam file
  bug anymore.

[mbacarella]

Actual changes

• Fix build on Arch Linux, and also more broadly on MacOS and Windows

For the record the additional dependency is required because it failed with Homebrew:

Is the failure on Ubuntu 18.04 expected?

-   ocamlmklib dllcurses_stubs.so,libcurses_stubs.a (exit 2)
- (cd _build/default && /home/opam/.opam/4.13/bin/ocamlmklib.opt -g -o curses_stubs ml_curses.o -lncursesw)
- /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncursesw

Is the failure on Ubuntu 18.04 expected?

No. It built successfully with ocaml-setup ubuntu-latest? https://github.com/mbacarella/curses/runs/4279233327?check_suite_focus=true

yes it sucessfully built with 20.04 here as well. Is that something you want to do something about or should we ignore the error? If so do you know the origin of the problem?

[mbacarella]

I'm content to ignore the Ubuntu 18 build error until someone complains, especially since it works in future Ubuntu releases.

Linking to ncurses is kind of a mess due to UNIX history and I've already sunk much more time into resolving this in a cross-platform way (to otherwise good success) than I had budgeted.

Thanks! Sorry for the wait
