LCURSES IS NOW MERGED INTO luaposix: http://luaforge.net/projects/luaposix

                               lcurses

lcurses is a C library for Lua 5.1 that wraps the curses API. It is

copyright Tiago Dionizio  2004-2007 and

copyright Reuben Thomas 2009-2011, and is released under the MIT

license, like Lua (see http://www.lua.org/copyright.html; it's

basically the same as the BSD license). There is no warranty.

Please report bugs and make suggestions to the email address above, or

use the LuaForge trackers.

Installation

------------

As normal:

[If using git sources:

    ./autogen.sh

]

    ./configure && make [&& make install]

The following options may be of interest if you have Lua installed on

non-default paths (as you are likely to on any system supporting more

than one version of Lua):

  --libdir=DIR            Install shared library in this directory

  --with-lua-prefix=DIR   Lua files are in DIR

  --with-lua-suffix=ARG   Lua binary and library files are suffixed with ARG

For example, on Debian or Ubuntu:

  CPPFLAGS='-I /usr/include/lua5.1' ./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1 --with-lua-suffix=5.1

Use

---

Unfortunately, there's currently no documentation other than

lcurses.c. It's fairly straightforward, though.

GNU Zile 2.5.0 and later is written in Lua, using lcurses, so it

contains plenty of example code. See the lua branch of its git

repository at: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/zile.git
