i8086emu

[rudra_islam]

i wanted to install i8086emu-src-0.9.2.tar.gz. I was told that it requires nasm .so i installed nasm first.
then i wrote in terminal :

pwd
/home/rudra
tar xvfz i8086emu-src-0.9.2.tar.gz
cd i8086emu-src-0.9.2
./configure
make

but after make i get the following error ...
what to do now and how to..??

The compiler was unable to find the ncurses.h header file. If you are sure the ncurses library has been installed, you might need to instruct the compiler where to find it. If, for example, the file ncurse.h is in /usr/lib/include, you can add this to the configure command:
./configure -h /usr/lib/includeIf you have not installed the library, you can install it with
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

thanks for your response. but i am a newbie and still facing some problem.I want to install i8086 in my home folder.

i followed your instructions.


sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
rm -fr i8086emu-src-0.9.2
tar xvfz i8086emu-src-0.9.2.tar.gz
cd i8086emu-src-0.9.2
./configure -h /usr/lib/include
./configure usegtk 1
make
su -
make install


but i get the following result :

plz do write the installation instruction in step by step.
Thanks.

It looks like it worked. I don't see any error messages, only two warnings.

I am not familiar with the program you are compiling, so I don't know how to activate or use it, assuming it compiled correctly. Maybe type on a command line i8086emu and see what happens.

Or even i8086gui or i8086text... since these seem to be the executables created by the install. They should be in /usr/local/bin which is probably on your PATH, if not you may need to run /usr/local/bin/i8086gui (or /usr/local/bin/i8086text).;)
