Hi,
I'd like to write some menus in Perl..
I looked at the FAQ and saw that perlmenu is recommended, so I
installed it.
It does not tell you it needs curses but when you first run it, it
yells that Curses.pm is not installed.. (Can't locate Curses.pm in @INC
...)
So this is where I stepped back to circa 1988.. I tried to install
Curses.pm... OUCH.
I've tried both of these operations on Mac OSX and Suse Linux and I get
the same or similar results.
I've read the INSTALL and linked the hints files to c-config.h played
around and played around and I always get similar results..
....
CursesFun.c: In function `XS_Curses_getwin':
CursesFun.c:3472: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
make: *** [Curses.o] Error 1
This is OBVIOUSLY NOT the way to go in 2003, having to play around
header files and libraries to get something working, I had less work to
do upgrading Mac OS X to perl 5.8 than to get this ***** working.
So, my question is, what do you guys use for menus that works in Perl,
the destination system once it is developed will be Solaris 8.
I would be grateful for workable solutions, note that I don't want GUI
stuff, just simple stuff that will work with ssh/Keaterm in the future.
Thanks very much,
Jerry Rocteur.
Back to the Future
