I’m trying to compile some linux console apps for haiku, but i need to know where some libraries are on haiku.
The first one is:
sst.h:8:10: fatal error: libintl.h: No such file or directory
8 | #include <libintl.h>
this is a internationalization library. Any tips what to do about it? I will edit this post when I’m on the next issue to keep all discussions here…
You have to install the header files.
pkgman install gettext_libintl_devel
great that fixed it!
next one:
sst.h:9:10: fatal error: curses.h: No such file or directory
9 | #include <curses.h>
Let’s see if you can figure out this one by yourself 
Hint: pkgman search
that did it too!
Ok it compiled great, but fails at link time:

From -lncursesw -lm it looks like it’s not linking against libintl, you should add -lintl in the Makefile or export to the library.
that was it! i knew i needed another -l entry but didn’t think to try that one LOL. Now onto the step of posting to the repo…
