PACKAGE NAME
------------
neko_ncurses


DESCRIPTION
-----------
A programming library for developing text-based interactive menu applications on terminals


SOURCE/VERSION
--------------
ncurses-6.1 / 6


IRIX/MIPSPRO VERSION
--------------------
6.5.22 / 7.4.4m


ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
---------------------
setenv CC c99
setenv MAKE /usr/nekoware/bin/gmake
setenv CFLAGS '-O2 -mips4 -n32 -diag_error 1035 -woff 3970'
setenv CPPFLAGS '-I/usr/nekoware/include'
setenv LDFLAGS '-L/usr/nekoware/lib'

for building on mips3 systems, use:

setenv CFLAGS '-O2 -mips3 -n32 -diag_error 1035 -woff 3970'


PATCH
-----
cd ncurses-6.1
patch -p0 < ncurses-6.1_irix.patch


CONFIGURE
---------
./configure --prefix=/usr/nekoware --without-ada --without-curses-h --with-pkg-config=/usr/nekoware/lib/pkgconfig --enable-pc-files --with-shared --without-debug --disable-rpath


BUILD
-----
gmake
gmake install
cd test
mkdir -p /usr/nekoware/examples/ncurses
# foreach i ( `cat examples.txt` )
foreach? cp $i /usr/nekoware/examples/ncurses
foreach? end

(The content of the examples.txt file is at the end of these release notes)


KNOWN DEPENDENCIES
------------------
gmake to build the package


ERRORS/MISCELLANEOUS
--------------------
The patch is a workaround for not having c99 support in the MIPSpro C++ compiler which fails in including stdint.h

There is support for pthreads in ncurses, but i chose not to compile threading support as an extra set of libraries.

This package has dual support for both mips3 and mips4 architecture, controlled by the mach(CPUARCH=R4000) switch for libraries and executables.
