Hi,
I recently purchased "Unix System V/386 Programmer's Guide", and in the chapter
on curses, I came upon the program below. I am using SCO Xenix version 2.3,
release 1. The program is as follows:
/* Example, page 10-33, "Unix System V/386 Programmer's Guide" */
#include <curses.h>
main()
{
int ch;
initscr();
cbreak();
addstr("Press any character: ");
refresh();
ch = getch();
printw("\n\n\nThe character entered was a '%c'.\n",ch);
refresh();
endwin();
}
Now, when compiled with the following
cc cursestst.c -lcurses
I get the following message:
LINK: unresolved externals:
_nap in file(s):
/lib/386/Slibcurses.a(gettch.c)
Now, I thought maybe it was due to Unix/Xenix cross-programming, so, I checked
my man page on the curses getch(), and it mached with what the book said (on
page 10-32), so, I am not sure what is causing this problem. I am trying to
write windows-type software for a local company.
Any help would be appriciated. Thanks in advance.
Dave

Oh, I also tried getstr(str), and I got the same link error.

Well, sorry to waste the bandwidth, but, I solved my own problem. In re-reading g the curses man pages, I found out that I needed to and two other libraries. Now, when I compile with: cc filename -ltcap -ltermlib [-lcurses] [-o filename] everything works fine.

It has nothing to do with getch(), except that getch() calls nap().

This is undocumented, so far as Curses is concerned (yes, nap() is documented, but not as relates to Curses). -- Dave Hammond daveh@marob.masa.com
