Steps to statically compile boxes against libunistring and pcre2: 1) install a bare minimum linux distribution of your choice using virtualbox 2) install wget, gcc, flex and bison packages 3)...

It is working, Thank you.

Ok, let's consider a single Linux distribution: Debian 12 (I've created a VM and installed Debian 12 on it) Then: apt update apt upgrade apt install flex bison libunistring-dev libncurses-dev...

Is it possible to rewrite _boxes_ in GO language to make 100% portable static binaries?

Yes, it makes sense, but what should be done when the same static binary for a given architecture (amd64/arm64/riscv64) is executed on different OSes? Detect the OS and change the...

Why is `make ; make test` instead of `make clean static; make test` working (no failed tests) on Debian 12?

I see that when ncurses 6.4 is manually installed using the command in boxes's Makefile: `./configure --enable-static --enable-termcap --prefix=/tmp/ncurses-64 ; make ; make install` It creates the old format `/tmp/ncurses-64/share/terminfo`...

What's the correct value for `TERMINFO` on Debian 12? All folders returned by `infocmp -D`: ``` /etc/terminfo /lib/terminfo /usr/share/terminfo ``` are either empty or have single-letter subfolders.

I just tried the `/tmp/ncurses-64/bin/tic -x -o terminfo-hashed terminfo.src` command, and the result is again the same `terminfo.db` file, which gets automatically generated with the `--with-hashed-db` ncurses's configure option. To...

Could you provide me with a patch so that boxes doesn't look for the terminfo folder and always assumes a color-capable terminal? Or does boxes need to fetch something from...
