This software is a collection of user interface elements called "widgets" that can be used for developing text-based applications using the curses library.
The Curses Development Kit is a great library of widgets for curses development. If you have been struggling to create user interfaces for terminal-based applications then the Cdk can help you a great deal. Here is a comprehensive review of the Cdk library including installation and usage.
Installation of the library is not difficult. All you need to do is to cd into the Cdk distribution directory and follow the following steps. First, run configure. This will create a Makefile with a default install directory root of /usr/local. However, you can change the default install directory using the --prefix command line argument on configure. For example, if you want to install under /export/local instead, simply run the command: ./configure --prefix="/export/local".
Once you have configured the installation directory, the next step is to type make. This will make the library, the example binaries, and the demonstration binaries. This process is not lengthy, and you only need to be patient. Finally, type make install. This will install the CDK distribution.
You will notice that the installation process is quite straightforward, and it only takes a few minutes. If you want to install other than /usr/local, you can always refer back to step 1 for the necessary instructions.
In conclusion, the Cdk library is a fantastic tool for curses development. With an easy-to-follow installation process, it is a must-have for anyone who wants to create user interfaces for terminal-based applications. Try it today and let us know your thoughts!
