hscurses -- A Haskell Binding to NCurses =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ hscurses is a Haskell binding to the NCurses library, a library of functions that manage an application's display on character-cell terminals. hscurses also provides some basic widgets implemented on top of the ncurses binding, such as a text input widget and a table widget. The hscurses library has been reported to work on Linux x86 and on OpenBSD using GHC 6.2, 6.4, 6.6, 6.6.1, 6.8.2. Building and installing the hscurses library with GHC 6.6 --------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: - GNU m4 - GHC >= 6.6 - ncurses Build and installation steps: runhaskell Setup.hs configure runhaskell Setup.hs build runhaskell Setup.hs install In order to generate the API documentation, you need haddock (http://www.haskell.org/haddock). The command is then: runhaskell Setup.hs haddock Building and installing the hscurses library with GHC 6.2 and 6.4 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: - GNU make - GNU m4 - GHC >= 6.2 - ncurses Build and installation steps: sh configure make make doc # if you want to build the API documentation make install # probably as root make register # probably as root OR make user-register # don't need to be root In order to generate the API documentation, you need haddock (http://www.haskell.org/haddock). The command is then: make doc # result goes to ./html Using the hscurses library: --------------------------- Just add the flag `-package hscurses' to the compiler flags. At the moment, user documentation is only available through Haddock API documentation. Copyright: ---------- John Meacham <john at repetae dot net>, 2002-2004.

History: -------- John Meacham started the binding for his chat client Ginsu (http://repetae.net/john/computer/ginsu/). Tuomo Valkonen integrated to code into Riot (http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/riot/), with minor modifications. Don Stewart improved the code for the Yi editor (http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/yi.html). Stefan Wehr turned the binding into a standalone library. He also added some basic widgets.
