For UTF-8 terminal support, use ncursesw instead. +Note: On FreeBSD (and maybe other BSD systems as well), it is recommended +that you install ncurses from ports before compiling mcabber. +You should also export LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib' before running +mcabber's configure to ensure that mcabber uses the ncurses installed +from ports. This is necessary as the version of ncurses included in +the base system does not provide unicode support. + If you want SSL support, you will need openssl lib & dev packages as well. + If you want PGP support, install libgpgme (with dev package), version >= 1.0.0.
