Ncurses

Description

This repository hosts D bindings for the C library ncurses, as well as some examples.

The bindings are implemented as source-only (.di files), and do not need to be compiled into a library or object files first.

Status

The main C header files are up to date with ncurses 6.3, as it is configured and packaged by Arch Linux.

C++ header files, and the termcap-related header files, are not currently translated.

Build settings

Dub configurations

Three dub configurations are made available, which select which libraries are added to be linked into your application:

  • minimal: The minimal (which is the default configuration) configurations only links the ncursesw library.

  • panels: The panels configuration additionally links the panelw library.

  • full: The full configuration additionally links the formw and menuw library.

To use a specific configuration in your projects, depend on this package by adding the following config snippet to your project's dub.sdl:

subConfiguration "ncurses" "full"

Reentrant API

ncurses provides a reentrant API. If the ncurses library you are linking against was built with the reentrant API enabled, you can enable it in the bindings by building with -version=NCURSES_REENTRANT. In dub.sdl this can be done by adding:

versions "NCURSES_REENTRANT"

Building on macOS

The stock ncurses libraries on macOS don't include the wide libraries. Thus the full ncurses version needs to be installed with Homebrew. Homebrew installs ncurses below `/usr/local/opt/ncurses`, where the dub configuration will pick it up.

First install Homebrew using the instructions on the web site, then you can add the ncurses package with

brew install ncurses
