It compiles without errors.
Started with

~/tmp4c$ ./main

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

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.

Thank you I will try that too

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");

Hi, i did compile it on Devuan using Geany.

There is no error message.

I will try your tip, thank you! I should of do it already, i am afraid i am a bit slow

Thank you!

Hi,

Sorry to insist, nobody?

Ncurses

dummy@example.com (fabien) — Mon, 25 Mar 2019 19:23:39 +0000

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.

Fabien
