Arch Linux User Repository

hexcurse development have been stalled for ~6 years in original repo (https://github.com/LonnyGomes/hexcurse)

Further development have been done in this repo: https://github.com/prso/hexcurse-ng

improved searching is just one of the "new features"

More on the new 1.70 release here:

https://github.com/prso/hexcurse-ng/releases/tag/v1.70.0

Could you be persuaded to switch to repo https://github.com/prso/hexcurse-ng ?

Thanks in advance :-)

Instead of trying to oversmart the GCC better just turn off warnings as errors ¯_(ツ)_/¯ http://ix.io/3sbK/diff

Apply with git am -s < <(curl -s http://ix.io/3sbK)

I submitted a new aur package "hexcurse-git" which patches the files to avoid the stringop errors.

seems it no longer wants to build (presumably with newer ncurses versions):
