NAME

adacurses-config - helper script for AdaCurses libraries

SYNOPSIS

adacurses-config [options]

DESCRIPTION

This is a shell script which simplifies configuring an application to use the AdaCurses library binding to ncurses.

OPTIONS

--cflags

echos the gnat (Ada compiler) flags needed to compile with AdaCurses.

--libs

echos the gnat libraries needed to link with AdaCurses.

--version

echos the release+patchdate version of the ncurses libraries used to configure and build AdaCurses.

--help

prints a list of the adacurses-config script's options.

If no options are given, adacurses-config prints the combination of --cflags and --libs that gnatmake expects (see example).

EXAMPLE

For example, supposing that you want to compile the "Hello World!" program for AdaCurses. Make a file named "hello.adb":

with Terminal_Interface.Curses; use Terminal_Interface.Curses;
procedure Hello is


   Visibility : Cursor_Visibility := Invisible;


   done : Boolean := False;


   c : Key_Code;
begin


   Init_Screen;


   Set_Echo_Mode (False);


   Set_Cursor_Visibility (Visibility);


   Set_Timeout_Mode (Standard_Window, Non_Blocking, 0);


   Move_Cursor (Line => Lines / 2, Column => (Columns - 12) / 2);


   Add (Str => "Hello World!");


   while not done loop


      c := Get_Keystroke (Standard_Window);


      case c is


      when Character'Pos ('q') => done := True;


      when others => null;


      end case;


      Nap_Milli_Seconds (50);


   end loop;


   End_Windows;
end Hello;

Then, using

or (simpler):

you will compile and link the program.
