The NCurses Library

编译buildroot的时候出现错误：

 *** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the
 *** required header files.
 *** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.

 *** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.

原因是缺少ncurses库,需要安装libncurses5-dev

The NCurses Library

 

The ncurses library defines a large number of constants, variables,and functions that allow you to use a console window as a simple kindof GUI. (It does not define classes. It's actually a C library ratherthan a C++ library as such.) When you write an ncurses program, youcan put the window into "curses mode". In this mode,you can move the cursor -- which determines where the next characterwill be printed -- to any position in the window. You can output a characteror a string of characters at the current cursor position. You canturn character "attributes" on and off. For example, if you turnthe "underline" attribute on, then the characters that you output willbe underlined. You can read single characters from the user, withouthaving them show up on the screen. These characters can includecontrol characters, arrow keys, and other special characters.
