.SH NAME
adacurses\-config \- helper script for AdaCurses libraries
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B adacurses\-config
[\fIoptions\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This is a shell script which simplifies configuring an application to use
the AdaCurses library binding to ncurses.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-\-cflags\fR
echos the gnat (Ada compiler) flags needed to compile with AdaCurses.
.TP
\fB\-\-libs\fR
echos the gnat libraries needed to link with AdaCurses.
.TP
\fB\-\-version\fR
echos the release+patchdate version of the ncurses libraries used
to configure and build AdaCurses.
.TP
\fB\-\-help\fR
prints a list of the \fBadacurses\-config\fP script's options.
.PP
If no options are given, \fBadacurses\-config\fP prints the combination
of 
\fB\-\-cflags\fR and
\fB\-\-libs\fR
that \fBgnatmake\fP expects (see example).
.SH EXAMPLE
.PP
For example, supposing that you want to compile the "Hello World!"
program for AdaCurses.
Make a file named "hello.adb":
.RS
.nf
.ft CW
with Terminal_Interface.Curses; use Terminal_Interface.Curses;

procedure Hello is

   Visibility : Cursor_Visibility := Invisible;
   done : Boolean := False;
   c : Key_Code;

begin

   Init_Screen;
   Set_Echo_Mode (False);

   Set_Cursor_Visibility (Visibility);
   Set_Timeout_Mode (Standard_Window, Non_Blocking, 0);

   Move_Cursor (Line => Lines / 2, Column => (Columns - 12) / 2);
   Add (Str => "Hello World!");

   while not done loop

      c := Get_Keystroke (Standard_Window);
      case c is
      when Character'Pos ('q') => done := True;
      when others => null;
      end case;

      Nap_Milli_Seconds (50);
   end loop;

   End_Windows;

end Hello;
.fi
.RE
.PP
Then, using
.RS
.ft CW
gnatmake `adacurses-config --cflags` hello -largs `adacurses-config --libs`
.ft
.RE
.PP
or (simpler):
.RS
.ft CW
gnatmake hello `adacurses-config`
.ft
.RE
.PP
you will compile and link the program.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
\fBcurses\fR(3X)
.PP
This describes \fBncurses\fR
version @NCURSES_MAJOR@.@NCURSES_MINOR@ (patch @NCURSES_PATCH@).
