Overview
Goncurses is an unicode ncurses library for the Go programming language. It
requires both pkg-config and ncurses C development files be installed.
Installation
The go tool is the recommended method of installing goncurses. Issue the
following command on the command line:
$ go get github.com/vit1251/goncurses
Linux compile errors
Since native nature of ncurses
no problem is register.
OSX compile errors
Most OSX version provide outdate curses C library version 5.3 and goncurses
unable operate with that outdate version.
You may use brew
system to update your ncurses (recomended version >= 6.3).
$ brew install ncurses
And setup you pkg-config
directory as shown after:
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/ncurses/lib/pkgconfig"
Microsoft Windows compile errors
Since Microsoft Windows actually does not support POSIX subsystem and
terminal subsystem, use a C library such as ncurses
does not make sence.
You can use more suitable WinAPI terminal library instead.
Initially, the author tried to add support for pdncurses
, but this issue
needs to be resolved by higher-level libraries outside of support for the
ncurses
library name.
Support for the Microsft Windows system has been removed and in the future
the library will issue an explicit build error on this platform.
FreeBSD compile errors
No checks.
