Ncurses, procedure to find and install it? - KayBee - 04-20-2020
Hi Again Coders,
In my ongoing attempt to learn C++ using MIPSpro via IRIX on my O2, I found a simple game that use ASCII graphics, but makes use of the Ncurses library. The game is a "Dodge 'em" type game:

I have seen references to Ncurses on our site, but not where to get it or how to install it. Also, since Ncurses is not an from SGI, I presume it would not work with MipsPro? I hope I am wrong about that. As always I appreciate your time and teaching.

You can download it here. it'll work with mipspro, but you'll need to set certain configure flags.

Thanks Raion, that's great. I'll download and check the docs for the instructions.
