As I work on this project I want to write down some notes about things I discovered during development:
- ChatGPT kept recommending to me the use of a
cchar_t
datatype as well as wide-character ncurses functions, but gcc was acting like they did not exist...- Digging into
ncurses.h
, you can plainly see the datatype declared and defined, but it is not clear how you link it to your project. - In this link below, it is explained to add a define macro at the top of your source file before including ncurses.h:
- Digging into
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED 1
