Short: gnu ncurses-5.5 user runtime Author: see 'README.authors' inside the archive Uploader: megacz usa com Type: dev/gg Version: 5.5-1 Replaces: dev/gg/ncurses-5.5-usr-m68k.lha Requires: 68020+/ixemul48+ Architecture: m68k-amigaos ncurses-5.5-1 - user runtime library ------------------------------------- NEWS: - [28-12-08] ixlibrary ID has been changed to the one that can be found in: http://megacz.back2roots.org/A2IXREGISTRY , if you dont use 'ixemul' 48.3 then you have to find non-collisious ID in range of 0 to 99 and patch it with 'ixidset' from 'ixidtools'. - [29-04-07] oops i missed one important thing, '*.ixlibrary' model relies on linker script '*.x' that contains fixed positions to the functions, so there should be only one build of the library to avoid surprises. (PLEASE REMOVE PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED LIBRARY FROM YOUR SYSTEM.) --- This archive contains runtime library required by proggies compiled with shared 'libncurses.ixlibrary' support + few common terminfos. The library has been compiled in 68020-60 compatibility mode and with some additional optimization flags. To install on a user level, copy the library to the 'libs:', and if you dont have 'gg:' create 'usr' directory somewhere in your 'sys:' and assign it like this: 'assign usr: sys:usr'. Another important thing is variable called 'TERM', it can be either global('setenv TERM amiga') or local('set TERM amiga'). For your information: 'amiga' is MONO(with non-standard cursor keys) and 'amiga-f' is ANSI, just browse 'usr/local/share/terminfo' to see available terminfos. Refer to full binary distribution('ncurses-5.5-1-bin-m68k') for developer stuff and some more information. --- megacz@usa.com
