Building/running on Arch Linux does not specifically require ncurses5-compat-libs package
Opened this issue · 2 comments
The current ncurses 6.3 library on Arch, which is backwards compatible, allowed agbplay to build and link without errors. The only compiler warnings generated are unrelated, from double-to-float truncation.
I was able to play songs from some supported games (i.e. Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, Kirby Nightmare in Dream Land) correctly, with the visualizers and UI working as intended, and all the inputs listed in README appear to work. There is no unusual or concerning output.
The ncurses5-compat-libs AUR package does not appear necessary to build nor run agbplay on Arch, so the official ncurses package might be a safer recommendation. Can anyone verify? I have not seen this in any open or closed issues, so apologies in advance if it's something already known.
I'd be fine changing it, though, I personally don't have an Arch machine so I can't verify it myself. Back then someone else mentioned that this would be required but I don't remember the details.
Any updates on this? Can you verify which one is required on Arch?
