Compilation again about pspg

[okbob]

probably your ncurses was compiled without mouse support. Please, try to check fresh code and comment row with #define MOUSE_WHEEL_BUTTONS> 1, You can try ncurses 6, where this BUTTON is supported (ncurses6 is 2 years old).

This worked; in pager.c, line 101:

// #define MOUSE_WHEEL_BUTTONS      1

Thanks a lot. BTW I tried with both

gcc pager.c -o pager -L. -lncurses

and

gcc pager.c -o pager -L. -lncursesw

Both ncurses and ncursesw do not accept the MOUSE_WHEEL_BUTTONS to be defined. ncurses is not a viable option as it only renders US ASCII correctly; not even latin-1 is supported (ö appears as M-CM-6?!?). Interestingly,

1. I can still use the mouse to click and select rows; only the wheel doesn't work;
2. htop shows the same behavior, so yes, ncurses(w) seems to globally lack mouse wheel support.

I'm using version 6.0+20160213-1ubuntu1; funny but the dev packages are called libncursesw5-dev.

You can have more version of same library - I am thinking so it is possibly to install dev ncurses 6 and linking pspg against this fresh library - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3840218/how-to-specify-the-library-version-to-use-at-link-time
