apt-get install libncurses5-dev on Ubuntu). I'm writing this on OSX Mavericks (which requires installing XCode), but other flavors of Unix should have the headers available for installation if they don't ship with the OS (e.g. Make sure you have a C compiler installed on your machine and have the ncurses headers available.
To show the most basic usage of how you would use the ncurses library in your program, let's create a simple simulation of a "ball" bouncing back and forth across the screen: You might not be familiar with the name "ncurses", but you use it every time you type the characters t-o-p into your terminal. It's a modern implementation of the original curses library that shipped with early versions of BSD UNIX. See also Is ncurses available for windows?.If you've ever wanted to create a simple video game that oozes lo-fi 1980's home computer nostalgia, you should definitely check out the ncurses programming library. Any Windows ports are completely separate efforts. In order to compile, curses needs to have a configure script run, that generates some files, probably config.h, perhaps other source files, and makefiles.Īlas, all that is a moot point because curses is AFAIK a Unix library that really depends on Unix APIs being present. Not only that, but the source code can't be directly compiled either - if you'd have added it to a C/C++ project, even on a Unix box, it wouldn't compile. What you have downloaded is source code, there are no binaries there at all - no. What you did is not how to use curses at all. The former has implemented a native Win32a GDI terminal window, while the latter only supports the native Windows console.
The two projects seem sadly to have diverged, though. The "original" implementation is inīill McBrine's repo, with some activity going on. In a nutshell: you want Bill Gray's PDCurses.
