Has anyone gotten sup to work with a native install of Ruby on Windows? I've tried, but I can't get the ncurses gem to compile and install.

The UTF-8 support is pretty wonky, even on Linux, because ncurses doesn't really support wide characters. There's a ncursesw, but no Ruby wrapper for it except for something from 2005 which I haven't had to energy to play with yet. In my setup, I can see most European and accented characters fine, but anything else displays as garbage. -- William <wmorgan-sup at masanjin.net> ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
