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 using GHC 6.8.2. Building and installing the hscurses library with GHC 6.8 --------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: - GNU m4 - GHC >= 6.8 - 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 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 @ repetae . net>, 2002-2004. Tuomo Valkonen <tuomov @ iki.fi>, 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.
