#17 information wanted on ncurses version
No info whatsoever as to the exact version of libncurses used either in README or make comments, or plain code.
Cannot build under libncurses 6.0-r1 or 5.9-f101 which are installed on my gentoo linux platform.
Please at least supply adequate information on ncurses version.
Hello Fab, indeed no version indication is provided about curses requirements, that's mostly because it should work with virtually anything that's vaguely compatible with XSI Curses. Still, you are right that it would be nice to include some list of libraries and versions that have been 100% successfully tested. I will add such note to the README.
So far, it worked for me with:
ncurses 5.9-53 on Linux
pdcurses v1.295 on DOS (DJGPP)
About your specific problem: I am not totally convinced that your 'unresolved symbols' that you mentionned earlier are due to a library version mismatch. If it were, I'd rather expect it wouldn't even assemble the code due to missing headers. Could you please provide more information about your exact troubles, with copies of gcc warnings and errors? Perhaps we're sitting on something bigger here.
