GNT is an ncurses toolkit for creating text-mode graphical user interfaces in a fast and easy way. It is based on GLib and ncurses.
It was born out of the console-based UI, Finch, for the libpurple project, but has now been split into its own independent repository.
To build, you will need Meson,
GLib,
ncurses,
libxml2, and Python 3. Exact
versions can be determined from the meson.build
in the top-level directory.
On Debian-based systems, install meson
ninja-build
gobject-introspection
libgirepository1.0-dev
gtk-doc-tools
libglib2.0-dev
libxml2-dev
libncurses-dev
libpython3-dev
.
On Fedora-based systems, install meson
ninja-build
gobject-introspection
gtk-doc
glib2-devel
libxml2-devel
ncurses-devel
python3-devel
.
You can then run Meson and Ninja as usual (passing any -D
options if necessary):
$ meson build
$ ninja -C build
$ ninja -C build install
This code was originally contained in the Pidgin/Finch/libpurple repository.
Versions were set by the top-level configure.ac
in that repository. The GNT
version was independent of Pidgin and Finch and the tag. This repository
contains the original tags and so you may see multiple tags pointing to the
same commit. The GNT version as it was released is noted in the second column
of the table below.
A second configure.ac
was included in the libgnt
subdirectory that was
extracted to produce this repository. Unfortunately, we were not consistent
with updating the version in that copy. It was deemed too much work for little
gain to go back through the history to correct this error when producing this
split repository. As such, the third column of the table below contains the
version as recorded in configure.ac
at the time of a tag.
Beginning with version 2.14.0, the code has been moved to a separate repository and so the tag and the version will remain in sync.
