Subj : ncurses To : Nicholas Boel From : Maurice Kinal Date : Tue Sep 12 2017 05:26:51 Hey Nicholas! NB> I have both libncurses.so as well as libncursesw.so Okee dokee. I decided to go for the gold with just libncursesw and the latest git version as shown below; ----- ':read !tic -V' starts ncurses 6.0.20170909 ----- ':read !tic -V' ends I haven't figured out a better way to fetch the installed version of ncurses. Anyhow I then compiled the latest version of the golded+ source I could find - gpsrc-115-20170303.tgz - which at the moment I don't have the URL handy but will find it if it becomes important. I used 'make PLATFORM=lnx WIDE_NCURSES=1' to build it and once built fired it up and BINGO!!! It works with the UTF8 line drawing characters just like mom used to do. :::evil grin::: NB> Take a look at 'screen'. I just installed it I haven't used it for ages now but now that you bring it up it seems like it would have been a good idea with the previous attempt where golded+ wasn't playing nice with ncurses. NB> Then you just tinker with it a bit, and find other things to try! Speaking of which, instead of 'screen' try tmux. I tried that years ago and liked it better than 'screen' but neither played nice with a framebuffer linux terminal. Anyhow it appears I have a 'fixed' golded+ working now ... still using vim as this reply shows. ;-) Life is good, Maurice .... Don't cry for me I have vi. --- GNU bash, version 4.4.12(1)-release (x86_64-silvermont-linux-gnu) * Origin: Little Mikey's Brain - Ladysmith BC, Canada (1:153/7001) .
