Accacia

What is this?

A tiny project from 2006 :)

Accacia is a lib which puts together some console I/O functions. This library is suitable for systems with Ansi Color Coding terminals.

As you can see by the acronym that the name of this lib is based:

Ansi color coding and console input available.

When I did it I'd decided to follow the old Borland's "conio.h" style, because the motivation to create Accacia was the lack of an easy way to get a colored output in a console mode program on Linux.

I think libcurses impractical when dealing with simple things.

How to build it?

In order to build Accacia you need to use Hefesto.

After follow the steps to install Hefesto in your system, all you need to do (on shell) inside accacia src subdirectory is invoke hefesto. Something like this:

root@zephyr:~/src/accacia/src# hefesto

In order to build the samples... being inside the subdirectory "src/samples", just type "hefesto":

root@zephyr:~/src/accacia/src/samples# hefesto

It must work fine and you'll find your samples at "accacia/samples".

Enjoy!
