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.

        ** Configuration summary for NCURSES 6.3 20221105:

               extended funcs: yes
               xterm terminfo: xterm-new

                bin directory: /work/opt/ncursesw/bin
                lib directory: /work/opt/ncursesw/lib
            include directory: /work/opt/ncursesw/include/ncursesw
                man directory: /work/opt/ncursesw/share/man
           terminfo directory: /work/opt/ncursesw/share/terminfo

        ** Include-directory is not in a standard location


Now execute the make commands.

  make
  make install      # this will copy under /work/opt/ncursesw  (using amiga file name conventions this is work:opt/ncursesw)
