Several commands require ncurses compiled in to work. These are all related to terminal functions. If one needs to run a terminal app that uses these functions one needs to re-compile yab.
Compiling yab with ncurses
1 change src/global.h line 1
from :
//define BUILD_NCURSES
to:
#define BUILD_NCURSES
2 change src/makefile line 92
from:
LIB = -lbe -lroot -ltranslation -ltracker -lmedia
to:
LIB = -lbe -lroot -ltranslation -ltracker -lmedia -lncurses
3 install ncurses and ncurses devel
4
run make in the src directory
NOTE:
An ncurses enabled version of yab and libyab.so are not compatible with the standard version and may break working apps if installed.
