#148 — ncurses 5.9

FromJKB <jkb@koenigsberg.invalid>
Date2011-10-11 21:45 +0000
Subjectncurses 5.9
Message-ID<slrnj99e76.n37.jkb@rayleigh.systella.fr>
	Hello,

	I'm trying to build ncurses 5.9. With configure script or
	Makefile.os2, I can build a ncurse.a, but this library is not
	usable. For example, tgetent() returns an error as terminal is not
	known. What is my mistake ? On Unix, ncurses tries to open /dev/tty*
	and I don't know how ncurses works on eCS.

	Any idea ?

	Regards,

	JKB

IIRC ncurses only works out of the box with EMX and perhaps not even 
that anymore, and I'd guess you're using klibc. Perhaps download 
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/dev/util/ncurses-5.6.zip which I 
believe was compiled with klibc and look at the patches that were applied.

	I have built ncurses with EMX.

Have you tried simply setting the "TERM" environment variable to "ANSI" 
in your shell before running?

Did you try to use ncurses-5.9 on hobbes ?

    http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/dev/util/ncurses-5.9.zip

It's compiled with kLIBC.

	No, I have built ncurses 5.9 from scratch.

EMX or kLIBC ?

And what did you set TERMINFO, TERMCAP and TERM env var to ?

In my case,

    TERMINFO=f:/usr/share/terminfo
    TERMCAP=f:/lang/emx/etc/termcap.dat
    TERM=ansi

I installed ncurses-5.9 into f:/usr and emx into f:/lang/emx
