This is avery thin wrapper around the ncurses TUI lib.

The compiled library will go to thetarget directory.

cargo build

Note that you must to have the ncurses library installed and linkable for ncurses-rs to work. On Linux, this should be trivial. On OS X, consider installing ncurses using Homebrew. (Note that you have to force Homebrew to link the library to/usr/local/lib:brew link --force ncurses and set that path toLIBRARY_PATH environmental variable.)

Examples are built bycargo build. To run them, usecargo run --example ex_<NUMBER>. Example numbers increase along with the complexity of the example.

Current examples:
1.Hello World
2.Basic Input & Attributes
3.Simple Pager
4.Window Movement
5.Menu Library (requires rust nightly)
6.Pager & Syntax Highlighting
7.Basic Input & Attributes (Unicode)
8.Special ACS Characters

Some environment variables are read bybuild.rs:

If set,NCURSES_RS_RUSTC_LINK_LIB will be used forNCURSES_RS_RUSTC_LINK_LIB.

If set,NCURSES_RS_RUSTC_FLAGS will be used forcargo:rustc-flags.

If set,NCURSES_RS_CFLAGS will be used for the compilation of the test programchtype_size.c.
