Thomas, Sven, many others too. my question is if there is a flag for compiling that would tell ncurses to output the token code, capability name string, Cap name or Tcap code instead of the characters? preferably in an easily parsed format, i use "{" and "}" around them, but it can be any enclosure. this would save me a lot of time and let me write code that is more portable when capturing/scanning/processing output from a ncurses using source code project of any kind. and it would seem that there must be some way to generate a token name for purposes of debugging ncurses, but i've not dug into the source code yet. my current use is in processing the output of Rogue and Rog-O-Matic, but I can see the wider use case for having the tokens returned instead of the characters. and yes, i do know about trace mode, but i suspect that puts out too much. it would mean i wouldn't have to write a scanner for all of these obscur</pre> songbird 2012-05-17T05:05:17 no patch on May 19 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.ncurses.bugs/4859 <pre>I'll be out of town over the weekend. </pre> Thomas Dickey 2012-05-14T10:57:00 ncurses-5.9-20120512.patch.gz http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.ncurses.bugs/4858 <pre> ncurses 5.9 - patch 20120512 - Thomas E.

One of the things I need is the ability include my own input events into ncurses event loop. Given that I'm using a file descriptor to fetch my input the wgetch_events function looked like it had a lot of potential. In the end it gave me what I wanted but I had to change, dare I say fix, the code. I pulled the 5.9 release, configured it with "configure --enable-wgetch-events", and built it. When I ran my test program wgetch_events didn't catch inputs from the file descriptor I passed to it. After some debugging I found that the following code at line 391 in lib_twait.c was the problem. #ifdef NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS     if (evl) {         evl-&gt;result_flags = 0;         for (n = 0; n &lt; evl-&gt;count; ++n) {             _nc_event *ev = evl-&gt;events[n];             if (ev-&gt;type == _NC_EVENT_TIMEOUT_MSEC) {                 long diff = (returntime - starttime);    </pre> bwgz 2012-04-23T04:42:44 ncurses-5.9-20120421.patch.gz http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.ncurses.bugs/4849 <pre> ncurses 5.9 - patch 20120421 - Thomas E.

If I start my program from the bash, I don't have any problems. As my program is some kind of setup program, I want to start it from the /etc/rc.local on an Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS 32-bit system (libncurses5 5.7+20090803-2ubuntu3 depending on lic6 &gt;= 2.4). But if I do that the program shows some odd problems: The "rendering" of the screen is not correct. The shadow of my windows is on the left border on the screen instead of in the column before the last column. And a few other things are also upside-down.

I have a written a ncurse app program which I put on device. I connect to the device using ckermit from linux server... using CONNECT cmd etc which sort of opens a terminal... I have two problems. (1)It is not able to display the ncurse "gui" because the screen size is too small. It always says this even though I resize the window manually of the terminal running the ckermit ...I then created a small version of the program which prints a smaller gui and it works fine (so I know that It will work if the size of window it sees changes...). How can I get it to work so that it will use the full screen size when window is resized? Is this some setting in ckermit? any help much appreciated. (2) The second problem is that my program is printing borders around each window. However it borders appear as garbage with something like a series '?' instead of what should be a line.
