Description

WARNING: This is a prototype. Things will probably break; in spectacular ways.

NCursesPtyWindow provides a pseudo terminal in a ncurses window.

Building

Requires:

GCC 9.3 (C++17)
ncurses 6.2
libvterm (0.1.2-2; r740 at https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~libvterm/libvterm/trunk/revision/740)
libmsgsl-dev 2.1.0-1 (Microsoft C++ Guidelines Support Library)

Running

Though this is a library, there is a demo application. It starts the currently running shell (or /bin/bash if SHELL environment variable is not set) and runs it in a ncurses window.
