hscurses is a Haskell binding to the ncurses library, a library of functions that manage an application's display on character-cell terminals. hscurses also provides some basic widgets implemented on top of the ncurses binding, such as a text input widget and a table widget.

The hscurses library has been reported to work on Linux x86 using GHC 6.8.2.

Building and installing the hscurses library with GHC 6.8

Requirements:

• GNU m4
• GHC >= 6.8
• ncurses

Build and installation steps:

runhaskell Setup.hs configure runhaskell Setup.hs build runhaskell Setup.hs install

In order to generate the API documentation, you need haddock (http://www.haskell.org/haddock). The command is then:

runhaskell Setup.hs haddock

Using the hscurses library:

Just add the flag `-package hscurses' to the compiler flags. At the moment, user documentation is only available through Haddock API documentation.

History:

John Meacham started the binding for his chat client Ginsu (http://repetae.net/john/computer/ginsu/).

Tuomo Valkonen integrated to code into Riot (http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/riot/), with minor modifications.

Don Stewart improved the code for the Yi editor (http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/yi.html).

Stefan Wehr turned the binding into a standalone library. He also added some basic widgets.
