Title: ncurses and newlisp
Post by: tylerdmace on November 28, 2009, 05:13:30 PM
I've been on the hunt for a clean way to find the row/col size of a terminal window for a few hours now and everything I've seen suggest that there's a lib-call (getmaxyx) native to libncurses. I've got both 5.0 and 6.0 installed but niether of them seem to contain that particular method.


Code Select
ERR: import function not found in function import : "/lib64/libncurses.so.5: undefined symbol: getmaxyx"

Has anyone found a really good way to solve this problem? I'm sure there's something obvious I'm simply overlooking.

Perhaps you could use getmaxx and getmaxy separately...?

When trying to display text completely centered on the screen, I am unable to do so, even using these two methods. Are there any (even semi) in-depth tutorials on using ncurses with newlisp?



Note: If you're interested in the code I'm trying to use, you can see it here: http://www.silenceisdefeat.com/~tyler (the application is called SecSec).
