NetBSD curses and BSD bmake? #6

Open mamccollum opened 1 month ago

mamccollum commented 1 month ago

As potentially default alternatives to the ubiquitous ncurses, there is NetBSD curses (which has been ported to both musl libc and glibc).

There is also bmake as an alternative to GNU make, which is used with NetBSD's pkgsrc and works on nearly every Unix system (*BSD, Linux with multiple libcs, Illumos, etc). It uses autotools to ensure its portability when building it.

I feel that, since Copacabana is aiming for using smaller and alternative software projects, this could be a good option as the default make and libcurses (while still retaining the GNU equivalents for compatibility).

I think NetBSD curses can be used, but isn't bmake incompatible with GNU make-style Makefiles? Maybe this would make impossible to compile even the Linux kernel.

I thought about using OpenPAM, but modules would be needed to be ported.
