[cant install] on mint20

[odarcan]

ok previously I have tried compiling cmake and done many things none worked,

now I have installed linux mint 20 fresh, and Im trying to install neix

It has cmake 3.16.3

when doing

cmake .

I now get the error:

It fails with the following output:

This is what a beginner linux user probably will experience. And Im sort of a beginner at linux.

[odarcan]

ok I did a sudo apt install --reinstall build-essential

and now it says curl is missing.

[odarcan]

eh accidentally closed it

[odarcan]

sudo apt install libcurl3-gnutils-dev libcurl4-gnutils-dev

sudo apt install libncurses

[odarcan]

after those it did cmake .

without errors

[odarcan]

now it gives error at make

[odarcan]

adding -lcurl or something is needed to one makefile I think

[qw3rtty]

Thanks for opening this issue! I will try to install it on Mint 20.

If there is a Problem during the compiling I will fix it. But it looks like there is a problem with your ncurses Installation. The Compiler cant find ncurses. It is undefined

I will keep you up to Date.

[qw3rtty]

On Mint you have to install ncurses Like so: sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

Please try to install it and the make a new try to install neix.

[odarcan]

unfortunately it did not work I think it is the same error:

[odarcan]

I did run sudo apt install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev before last error message

[odarcan]

if you are on irc I can let you use teamviewer to try yourself

[qw3rtty]

I could fix the issue. :) It was a problem while linking during the compiling. It could install it on a virtual machine running Mint 20.

Please try again to install neix :)

[qw3rtty]

Please let me know, if it works.

[qw3rtty]

I updated the installation section of the README with the requirements. I hope this will make it a bit easier for others in the future.

[g4jc]

Bug still happening on trunk, but thanks to some help on IRC got it narrowed down. Both CURSES_INCLUDE_DIR and CURSES_LIBRARY are deprecated. This results in linker errors. PR forthcoming.
