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 kind of GUI. (It does not define classes. It's actually a C library rather than a C++ library as such.) When you write an ncurses program, you can put the window into "curses mode". In this mode, you can move the cursor -- which determines where the next character will be printed -- to any position in the window. You can output a character or a string of characters at the current cursor position. You can turn character "attributes" on and off. For example, if you turn the "underline" attribute on, then the characters that you output will be underlined. You can read single characters from the user, without having them show up on the screen. These characters can include control characters, arrow keys, and other special characters.
