Fails while compiling

Interesting, would you mind sharing your Ncurses version? I read somewhere that Homebrew has a new version of Ncursesw that links to the older Ncurses. I’ll do some search as well.

Was 6.1, upgraded with Homebrew to 6.2 (via downloading this file), same error :)

That is strange... I did find A_ITALIC macro in the tar file you uploaded. Would you mind try one more thing by changing A_ITALIC to A_NORMAL and see if it would compile.

[097115]

Yeah, it compiles[1] but doesn't display italics as a consequence :)

[1]: I also had to change Makefile:30 from this:

LDFLAGS=-g -O3 -Wl,--copy-dt-needed-entries -lncursesw -lxml2 -Wall -Werror

to this:

LDFLAGS=-g -O3 -Wl,-lncurses -lxml2 -Wall -Werror

[Titor8115]

I’ll see what can be done.

The Makefile is under makeover. I didn’t expect the sudden increase in community and system at the beginning.

[097115]

No problem :)

On macOS, as a temporary fix, you could replace A_ITALIC with NCURSES_BITS(1U,23), which is the original definition in ncurses.h. Also, remove --copy-dt-needed-entries from LDFLAGS as already stated above.

@lucamot, the resulting file, compiled with these changes still doesn't display italics for me, though.

@097115 I uploaded a new Makefile and view.h to fix the compile issue and A_ITALIC issue. It just hit my mind that the terminal emulator might be the reason ITALIC isn't rendered. What emulator are you using?

No :). I've tried iTerm and Alacritty, they both support italics.

(On this nw Makefile: it compiles now but italics indeed aren't rendered.)

Alright, I'll test it out if it is an issue across Mac OS. And I'll try to implement ANSI for the italics.

And thanks for the feedback!!!!
