Ncurses Library porting

Target board: ARM (i.mx286)

Host: ubuntu-13.10

Cross compiler: ARM-NONE-LINUX-GNUEABI-GCC

Ncurses Version: 5.9

Original link: Http://blog.csdn.net/fulinus

Ncurses Library: http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/

Extract:

[Email protected] ~]$ tar xzf ncurses-5.9.tar.gz

[Email protected] ~]$ CD ncurses-5.9/

Compile:

[Email protected] ncurses-5.9]$/configure--prefix= $PWD/install--host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi--build=i686-- With-shared

[[email protected] ncurses-5.9]$ make && make install

At this point, the install directory is generated under the ncurses-5.9 directory, which contains the Ncurses library and header files:

[[email protected] ncurses-5.9]$ ls Install
Bin include Lib man share

Test:

In the test directory, we are testing the file, and we are going to download one of the files named rain to run in the Development Board:

[Email protected] ~$./rain
Error opening terminal:vt102.

If the above error occurs, on the target board:

[Email protected] ~$ mkdir-p/usr/share/terminfo/v/

The VT100 and vt102 in the ncurses-5.9/install/share/terminfo/v/directory are downloaded to the/usr/share/terminfo/v/directory of the target board.

Set Environment parameters:

[Email protected] ~ $export term=vt100

[Email protected] ~ $export terminfo=/usr/share/terminfo

Rain can be seen when running rain again:

[Email protected] ~$./rain

If you want to have a color effect:

[Email protected] ~$ mkdir-p/usr/share/terminfo/l/

and download Linux from the ncurses-5.9/install/share/terminfo/l/directory to the/usr/share/terminfo/l/directory of the target board.

Set Environment parameters:

[Email protected] ~ $export Term=linux

[Email protected] ~ $export terminfo=/usr/share/terminfo

Running rain programs has a color effect.

To avoid setting the environment parameters for each restart, you can add them to the/etc/profile file in the target board:

Export Term=linux

Export terminfo=/usr/share/terminfo
