Packaging status

Building from Source

Install the following build dependencies. If your distribution segments development files from core packages (i.e., *-devel or *-dev packages), you may need to install those as well:

  • gcc
  • autoconf-archive
  • automake
  • autopoint
  • asciidoc
  • gettext with development files
  • ncurses with development files

If you are using a release tarball, the following commands can be used to build and install calcurse:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

Note that make install needs to be run as root. When working on a Git checkout, you need to run ./autogen.sh before ./configure.
