Hello sup-talk,
I'm trying to get sup running on my work machine, which is unfortunately a
windows box. I have cygwin installed, along with the cygwin packages for
ruby and ncurses. Here's the contents of ~/.sup/exception-log.txt:
--- ArgumentError from thread: main

Weird. We've had other people get it working on Cygwin before, I
believe. Are you running this within Cygwin's rxvt?
What if you modify lib/sup/colormap.rb so that NUM_COLORS=15?

Normally I use puttycyg (http://code.google.com/p/puttycyg/), but I gave
rxvt and even the normal cmd.exe window a try. Same error in all three. I
also tried modifying NUM_COLORS to 15 (and other values... 1, 8, 16, 32) but
got the same error every time in each terminal emulator.
Honestly, it's probably an issue with my setup... is there a guide anywhere
on how to get sup running in cygwin? Maybe I'm missing a required package?
Thanks!
Dan

There's no guide per se. Other people have definitely made it work in
the past. Are you able to get other color curses programs to work? I
suspect it's not a Sup issue per se, but I'm not that familiar with the
intricacies of Cygwin.

Hmm... good question. I regularly use emacs with colors enabled, but I'm
not sure if that uses curses. I tried typespeed and that seemed to work.
According to its man page, it uses curses. Is there any way I could disable
colors in sup as a test? I'll also try reinstalling curses and installing
older versions to see if that makes a difference...
Thanks!

Hm. What version of the ncurses gem do you have? (gem list --local
should tell you.)
What does this program print?
require 'rubygems'
require 'ncurses'
x = begin
Ncurses::initscr();
Ncurses::has_colors?()
ensure
Ncurses::endwin();
end
puts x
If it prints true, then, if you look in the contents of the gem
(wherever that is on your system), there should be an examples/
directory. If you run examples/tlock.rb or examples/rain.rb, (probably
with ruby -rubygems), do you see color?

Hi William,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I finally got back around to playing
with this again. Here are the answers to your questions:
>gem list --local | grep curse
ncurses (0.9.1)
The test script prints:
true
The ncurses examples all seem to work and display color. I did have to edit
them to add require 'rubygems' at the top.
I also tried playing with the sup code a bit. If I comment out lines 133-4
in lib/sup/colormap.rb:
# Curses.init_pair id, fg, bg or raise ArgumentError,
# "couldn't initialize curses color pair #{fg}, #{bg} (key #{id})"
sup loads, but everything is in black and white and a bit difficult to
read. I also tried uncommenting that, then changing Curses to Ncurses so it
looks like this:
Nurses.init_pair id, fg, bg or raise ArgumentError,
"couldn't initialize curses color pair #{fg}, #{bg} (key #{id})"
sup loads with that as well, and displays some color, but most of the screen
is unreadable (I'm guessing it's displaying as white text on white
background).
Any ideas? I tried changing more things from Curses to Ncurses, but that
quickly started generating method undefined errors.
Thanks!
Dan
