Ncurses

Hello!

I am trying to learn a bit C (only for fun), and I wrote a little code with ncurses.

It works on FreeBSD, but I can't run it on DEVUAN.

libncurses5-dev and libncursesw5-dev are installed, the program compile just fine but nothing shows up in the terminal.

Is somebody knows what I am talking about?

Merci.

Re: Ncurses

I have no experience with ncurses.

You say "the program compile just fine", just to make sure - you did compile it on Devuan?

How are you running it, from a terminal?  Are any error messages displayed in the terminal? 

If you are sure its running, and there are no errors anywhere, then I would add printf's in your code to see where your program is at runtime:

printf("HERE 1.\n");
...
printf("HERE 2.\n");
...

Re: Ncurses

You do know how to leave an audience guessing wink

Perhaps you should test the waters at the freenode IRC #devuan as well, to increase the chances of running into someone else doing C with ncurses on both freebsd and devuan. It might be a more select group than this one.

I hope I wasn't rude.

Re: Ncurses

~/tmp4c$ cat /etc/devuan_version

~/tmp4c$ ls -l

-rw-r--r-- 1 yeti yeti 1293 Mar 30 23:05 main.c

It compiles without errors.
Started with

~/tmp4c$ ./main 

it runs and I can move the P with the arrow keys.
