PDCurses for X11
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
This is a port of PDCurses for X11, aka XCurses. It is designed to
|
|
allow existing curses programs to be re-compiled with PDCurses,
|
|
resulting in native X11 programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
. Run "./configure" in the top-level directory.
|
|
|
|
To build the wide-character version of the library, specify
|
|
"--enable-widec" as a parameter. To use X Input Methods, add
|
|
"--enable-xim". I recommend these options, but I haven't yet made
|
|
them the defaults, for the sake of backwards compatibility and due to
|
|
their new and relatively untested status.
|
|
|
|
If your system is lacking in UTF-8 support, you can force the use of
|
|
UTF-8 instead of the system locale via "--enable-force-utf8". This is
|
|
generally more useful in Windows.
|
|
|
|
If configure can't find your X include files or X libraries, you can
|
|
specify the paths with the arguments "--x-includes=inc_path" and/or
|
|
"--x-libraries=lib_path".
|
|
|
|
By default, the library and demo programs are built with the optimizer
|
|
switch -O2. You can turn this off, and turn on debugging (-g), by
|
|
adding "--with-debug" to the configure command.
|
|
|
|
. Run "make". This should build libXCurses and all the demo programs.
|
|
|
|
. Optionally, run "make install". curses.h and panel.h will be renamed
|
|
when installed (to xcurses.h and xpanel.h), to avoid conflicts with
|
|
any existing curses installations. Unrenamed copies of curses.h and
|
|
panel.h are installed in (by default) /usr/local/include/xcurses.
|
|
|
|
libXpanel is just a symlink to libXCurses. Both curses and panel
|
|
functions are in the main library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Distribution Status
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
As of April 13, 2006, the files in this directory are released to the
|
|
Public Domain, except for ScrollBox*, which are under essentially the
|
|
MIT X License.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To be Done
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
- have newterm() create a new X window
|
|
|
|
- provide a command line parsing function to enable X command line
|
|
arguments to be parsed and stripped from the arguments passed back
|
|
to the calling procedure.
