Compiling Curses.pm on HP-UX 11.00

Phil Smith — Mon, 18 Feb 2002 20:04:30 GMT

I have a requirement for the perlmenu.pm module. This has a dependancy on the Curses.pm module which seems to be living up to it's name.

I get the follow errors and compiling terminates:-

# make
gcc -c -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L -D_HPUX_SOURCE -L/lib/pa1.1 -DUINT32_MAX_BROKEN -mpa-risc-1-1 -fPIC -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O -DVERSION=\"1.06\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.06\" -fPIC -I/opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi/CORE Curses.c

CursesBoot.c:459: `A_ALTCHARSET' undeclared (first use in this function)
CursesBoot.c:459: `A_COLOR' undeclared (first use in this function)
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.

Anyone had any success with this before or have any suggestions?

Regards

Phil.

I have not work whit perlmenu but:

A_ALTCHARSET and other refers to attibutes of chars, and should be defined in a header file (.h)

do:

cd /usr/include

find . -type f | xargs grep A_ALCHARSET

See also on perl directories.

Hi Phil:

I seldom use gcc though it is a solid compiler but any gcc build that uses curses depends upon the ncurses package rather than standard curses. You need to download and build the ncurses library from any of the HP-UX Porting Centres.

gcc does not *need* ncurses. IMHO ncurses is a hell to maintain on HP-UX.

The easy solution is probably to just switch to xcurses or curses_color, standard shipped with hpux. I don't have any gcc built perls around (nor do I want to compared to the HPc build perl performance.

I just tried to compile Curses-1.06 from ftp://download.xs4all.nl/pub/mirror/CPAN/modules/by-module/Curses/Curses-1.06.tar.gz with the HPc compiler on perl-5.6.1 (HPc built), and got the same errors.

Change

'#include <curses.h>'

to

'#include <curses_colr.h>'

in c-config.h and your problems will disappear :)

I do not understand the differenz between these two include statements, howevver I got it to compile with

a change in line 116 from Makefile.PL

116 'hpux' => [ '-I/usr/local/include/ncurses' => '-lcurses -ltermcap' ],

BTW this is same question as in thread 4161656 and thread 3902305

These two #include statements originally had real content that got lost in the conversion to this forum format. I agree that that posts now makes close to no sense at all.

By looking at the raw html, you can guess what the was in the <>. If you are the author, you can edit the post.

Updated. Looking at the raw html needs Ctrl-U now under Opera. The styling of this forum is not improving over time :(
I now have huge black unused areas and wrapped columns
