Mac OSX Installation Instruction

Install pkg-config

Both Homebrew and MacPorts have pkg-config.

Install ncurses

Tthe latest version of ncurses at the time of writing is 6.0 and is backwards compatible with 5.9. Either is fine though goncurses has been mainly tested against 5.9.

  • MacPorts - includes the .pc files required for pkg-config support of ncurses. Use this version for the easiest setup.
  • Homebrew - See Below

Warning - Homebrew does not install ncurses with pkg-config support. You will need to do some work to set this up or make some changes to goncurses. This blog describes how to setup this version for pkg-config but use at your own risk.

Install Goncurses

$ go get github.com/rthornton128/goncurses
