I am running on Ubuntu 20.04 Linux ubuntuclient 5.8.0-40-generic #45~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 15 11:35:04 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have downloaded the project and unzip it which created the folder structure I the run: hsv@ubuntuclient:~/tvision/tvision-master$ cmake . -B ./build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && cmake --build ./build -- Install path: /usr/local -- Build Examples: ON -- Build w/GPM: ON -- gpm library requested CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:36 (message): gpm library requested but not found Call Stack (most recent call first): source/CMakeLists.txt:113 (tv_message)

What should I do different to get it compiled? Regards Henning

Hi Henning! You are very close. You need to install the package libncursesw5-dev. I'm sorry the error message is not very helpful. I should probably list the required packages in the Readme.

Cheers.

Hi Thanks for a fast answer. I was looking at that, and could see that libncursesw6 was installed. Not dev, but should it be version 5 and not the current version 6?

Regards Henning Svane

That would seem logical, but there is no package libncursesw6-dev. Don't worry about that, it won't cause conflicts (I hope).

After investigating a bit, I realized that libncurses-dev already provides the 'wide char' variant of Ncurses (not because Turbo Vision uses wide chars, but because the non-wide variant of Ncurses was unable to display UTF-8 properly the last time I tried it). Actually, libncursesw5-dev consists of just a document (file list) and has libncurses-dev as dependency. So whether you install libncurses-dev or libncursesw5-dev, the result will be the same.

Cheers.
