It seemed logical to just "use crt" instead. Unfortunately, the CRT unit has resisted all my attempts at compilation. Specifically:
- crt.pas won't compile unless crtc.c has been compiled first
- "gcc -c crtc.c" fails because ncurses.h, panel.h, and term.h are
missing. (In fact, panel.h and term.h are in the units directory, but presumably gcc wants them somewhere else.) My system claims to have ncurses 5.4-13 installed, but apparently that is not sufficient.
You probably need to install something like ncurses-dev or -devel too. (For some *** reason, distros think it's cool to put some 10 KB headers in a separate package from the several 100 KB or MB libs, adding another source of unnecessary confusion for programmers or package builders.)-:
