Welcome to Nurses!
==================
ncurses (new curses) is a programming library providing an application programming interface (API)
that allows the programmer to write text-based user interfaces (TUI) in a terminal-independent manner.
This version was compiled for MorphOS using the native gcc compiler and wide char support was enabled.
INSTALLATION
------------
Just untar the tarball and put it in /work/opt/ncursesw
e.g., supposing that you use the ksh shell an that you have ncursesw-6.3-build-2022.11.17.tgz on the RAM-disk
cd /ram
tar zxvf ncursesw-6.3-build-2022.11.17.tgz
mv ncursesw /work/opt/ncursesw
THE FOLLOWING CHANGES WERE DONE
-------------------------------
The biggest problem was the missing function "int wcwidth(wchar_t wc)" in the library of the native C compiler.
#include <wchar.h>
int wcwidth(wchar_t wc)
1. tty_update.c implemented morphos_wcwidth from https://github.com/termux/wcwidth
2. view.c used morphos_wcwidth that was defined in (1)
3. lib_acs.c same as (2)
4. frm_driver.c same as (2)
5. m_global.c same as (2)
6. ins_wide.c same as (2)
7. key_names.c same as (2)
8. ncurses.c same as (2)
9. savescreen.c same as (2)
10. test_add_wchstr.c same as (2)
11. test_addwstr.c same as (2)
12. new_pair.c added missing tdelete, tfind and tsearch using an implementation from https://github.com/davea42/tsearch-code
GETTING THE SOURCE CODE AND COMPILING FROM SOURCE
-------------------------------------------------
You can get the source code with
git clone https://github.com/Aigor44/ncursesw-morphos.git
Configure with
./configure-morphos
if everything works, at the end we should obtains a message like the following.
