digitalmars.D.learn - ncurses linking(?) problem on Mac OS X

reply "Joakim" <joakim742 gmail.com> writes:
Hi,

I am very new to D, I just started with it a week ago or so, and
I haven't really been using compiled languages before (except for
Java), so I'm pretty confused with the whole thing in general. ;)

I try to use the ncurses library in my project using:


"dependencies" : {
      "ncurses" : "~master"
},
"lflags" : ["-v"]


But when I try to compile it, I get the following:



configured to support archs: armv6 armv7 armv7s arm64 i386 x86_64
armv6m armv7m armv7em
Library search paths:
	/usr/share/dmd/lib
	/usr/lib
	/usr/local/lib
Framework search paths:

	/System/Library/Frameworks/
ld: library not found for -lncursesw
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to
see invocation)

I have no idea where to go from here to be honest. It's probably
something easily fixed for someone even a tiny bit more
experienced.

I would love some help if anyone feels up to it.

Have you actually installed ncurses on your system?

I will try this, but I did a search/info with homebrew and it 
said it was not recommended because OS X already has ncurses 
installed by default. Something about conflicts that could 
possibly occur. I found libncurses.dylib and such already 
installed in /usr/lib.

It worked perfecly. I knew I had missed something stupid. :)

What confused me was the homebrew warning.

Thank you for helping a newbie out. :)
