you can try using xmake to build and run it.

xmake xmake run test dialog

[waruqi]

undefined symbol: acs_map gcc -shared -o ltui.so src/core/lcurses/lcurses.o

maybe do not link libncurse or libcurse

You need to fix the rockspec and reupload it once fixed.

https://luarocks.org/modules/waruqi/ltui <----

If your ltui requires xmake then you need to make this a dependency requirement in your ltui rockspec

[waruqi]

you can see https://xmake.io/#/guide/installation

only run the following command to install xmake.

bash <(wget https://xmake.io/shget.text -O -)

I have fixed it, you can try reinstall it again via luarocks.
