After looking at the compilation instructions, I realise… I may need some help :/
Ps: I’m using any-kind-of-Linux-you-want-me-to-install, 64bit version
Couldn't figure out if was the unix/setup.sh, or hints/macos.sh, etc etc please heip :/
ncurses dependency was easy though...
#test.c
#include <unistd.h>
#include <ncurses.h>
int main()
{
initscr();
getch();
endwin();
sleep(1);
return 0;
}

Hi! So I am making a TUI in linux using the ncurses library. I am not really sure what is the end goal yet, but I want it to display my keystrokes and then place it in a string variable so that I can use it at other things.
I can make it get a string from my keyboard and put it into a variable just fine, but I want it to show me the characters that I am actually typing so I can see if I have a typo or something like that.
Thank you in advance!

I would like to solve this problem, ty all for any help.
I just updated ncurses from 6.2-2 to 6.3-1, which made scrolling in neovim with vertical splits behave strangely. Downgrading fixed it. Is this a known issue?
As a fun side project I built a game engine into Toxic (as of version 0.11.x) along with some games. The current library includes Chess (online), Conway's game of life, Snake vs. glowies, and Centipede.
I'm open to suggestions for games to implement in the future - preferably something practical, given the constraints of ncurses and p2p.
As a side note, Toxic can still be built without game support for those who don't like fun; see the install instructions.
Hey everyone. I often install Ubuntu for other people, and to make the whole process a bit faster, I made a big string of commands I run after an installation to do a variety of things. One of which is installing the restricted packages, and, sadly, it's the only part of my "collection" that requires manual intervention.
When installing ubunu-restricted-extras on Ubuntu 20.04, we get those two prompts (this one and this one) to accept Microsoft's EULA, specifically for the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. I'd like to automatically select Ok in the first instance, then Yes in the second.
sudo apt install -y ubuntu-restricted-extras does not help.
yes | sudo apt install -y ubuntu-restricted-extras neither
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install -y ubuntu-restriced-extras successfully skips the ncurses interface, but it seems to select the default option, which makes it refuse the EULA.
I'm looking to make some games in the terminal, and looking for opinions on these two libraries.
first, the problem arose when i tried to make a cpp game but the tutorial showed it with the conio.h file which is something macOS devices apparently cant run. i tried using dummy header files but the conio.h file contained even more headers and it seemed like it would take forever to track down what I needed. then I found ncurses and after about an hour of trying to download the library I got it through homebrew but VSCode won't run some the snake game with ncurses stuff in it. is there any game-friendly input stuff like ncurses that already comes with every macOS device? it seems like every solution is unavailable to me because of the OS. Ive tried editing the path of where the ncruses library is saved even putting it in the same folder as the snake game file and nothing works. I included a screen capture in case it helps
ps. I've also realized for some reason XCode wont run anything. The Run thing is grayed out and when I do cmd+R it does the annoying beep shit pls help. I'm not logged into git hub which apparently causes problems and everything else for xcode seems fine just half my commands do nothing.
Issue 2642 discusses removing them. As I understand it, those options were only potentially useful for old versions of ncurses, and now that Kakoune doesn't use ncurses at all, they can be removed. However, it would be nice to know in advance if that would break anybody's configuration.
Anyone here use those options?
I've tried to modify roads.json, or a couple of other files like the shelter, but the changes don't stick or I end up breaking something. Is this possible or does it require modifying every template?
I am trying to create a statically linked executable for a rust project that uses Cursive (with ncurses as backend). I installed the libraries for ncurses-devel, ncurses-static, ncurses-lib as well as did
rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
When I try to compile the project using:
RUSTFLAGS='-C link-arg=-s' cargo build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
cargo fails with the error:
error: failed to run custom build command for `ncurses v5.101.0`
Caused by:

OPT_LEVEL = SomeI'm struggling with unicode support in ncurses. Neither Windows Terminal nor standalone console present this correctly. I'm looking for any help how to fix this.
My code is here: ksawerykarwacki/continuous_integration (github.com)
My locale is set like this:

Very simple ncurses program - has a call to beep() in a loop. When I run it, I only ever hear a single beep no matter how large the loop limit is.
Code snippet is:
initscr();
for(i = 0; i < beepCount; i++) {
beep();
}
endwin();
I've verified through printf that beepCount has the correct value (e.g. 3), and I've also just directly tried writing:
initscr();
beep();
beep();
beep();
endwin();
Still only hearing one beep.
Am running this on macOS 11.2.3 through various terminal emulators including the built-in Terminal app, CRT (CoolRetroTerm) and Cathode by SecretGeometry. Same result each time.
All help appreciated - thanks.
Hi
As the title says: I build opensuse with packer and when it's installed I only have non interactive SSH into the machine. So I need a way to set some yast variables without actually opening yast!
Pseudo code: Yast2 set remote administration-with-session=true Yast2 set allow-vnc-with-webbrowser.
What settings I actually need to set:
- allow remote management with vnc session
- allow the connection with Webbrowser
I think I got the first one with the systemd xvnc socket but the allow with Webbrowser eludes me...
How can I set this without opening yast?
Thanks
A search on google gave me three.

Any idea which one I should use (i mean apart from "try them all" or "use the most recent") ?
Is there one that is known to perform better ?
Thanks
Hello all. I just wanted to confirm. . . .
Do Ncurses mouse actions / mouse handling work through XWayland?
How do they work when a terminal is a wayland terminal, like Alacritty?
Thank you.
Hello!
I am wondering whether there is some good way to clear the terminal screen.
A few ideas that I have that are sucky:
Solution 1: Just print as many newlines as there are rows Problem: you are just spamming the terminal history. I don't know whether this is a good solution or no, and how many lines in the past a terminal remembers and whether it remembers regardless and this is actually a good solution.
Solution2: system(“clear”) Problem: Apparently, it is a lot slower than regex source
Solution 3: Regex: “\e[1;1H\e[2J” Problem: I have had problems with this. I think it just does the same thing as solution 1 or something...
So yea. Can you tell me which solution is best? I want to run the clear at the very most at 30 fps, and at the very least - whenever the user actively inputs a command. But let's assume the worst case scenario.
Thank you! <3
Hello. I am making a text editor from stratch, in C, of course. Does somebody wants to test it? If you find a bug, pls open an issue or I will not know of it. Thanks for reading.
Here is the repository: https://github.com/ArthurBacci64/Teditor
Hi guys, quite experienced user here, I have a problems with ncurses library in my c# project. I'm using ported ncurses library from cpp, but with an old .dll file name. While trying to fix that by searching by name of the file and trying every name from output of "locate libncurses" and with every try getting error like that:
Unhandled exception. System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'libncurses.so.5.9' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the LD_DEBUG environment variable: libncurses.so.5.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I don't know how to fix it, also tried to install libncurses5-compat-libs which should do the work and got a problem with gpg keys.
Any good solutions for this? thanks!
Hi fellas.
I'm currently writing a text editor using Ncurses library(c language obviously) but I hit a dead-end figuring out how can I render the contents on the screen. my intuition was to print the whole buffer content with every single keypress but that would be overkill. can you give me some clues, please!
