Ah I see. Can it only be done by manually changing the ncurses.mk, or can I write a patch that I can use with buildroot's patch system for packages to do it "properly"?

Not directly. Notice that this is configure options for ncurses, not for
nano.

For a quick test you can you naturally just adjust
package/ncurses/ncurses.mk.

[Buildroot] Any way to configure "nano" to use fallbacks instead of terminfo/termcap?

Is there a way to enable the configuration options "--disable-database" and "--with-fallbacks" for the "nano" package?

I built a "nano" binary using buildroot to make my exploration of my internet router a little easier, however when trying to use it I get an "Error opening terminal" message. I found a Stackoverflow post (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53320009/error-opening-terminal-vt100-while-running-a-binary-with-ncurses-on-arm) that suggests I need to build "nano" using the above-mentioned options so that terminal information is baked-in to the nano binary instead of it trying to read that from disk.

However I don't see an obvious way to do this from buildroot's menuconfig?

Thanks,
Dan Jackson.
