| The following packages should be installed before GNU libtextstyle is installed | |
| (runtime dependencies that are also build dependencies): | |
| * GNU ncurses (preferred) | |
| or libtermcap (discouraged) or a curses library (legacy). | |
| + Highly recommended. | |
| Needed for styling of terminal output. | |
| + Homepage: | |

| + Download: | |
| https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ncurses/ | |
| + Pre-built package name: | |
| - On Debian and Debian-based systems: libncurses-dev, | |
| - On Red Hat distributions: ncurses-devel. | |
| - Other: https://repology.org/project/ncurses/versions | |
| + If it is installed in a nonstandard directory, pass the option | |
| --with-ncurses-prefix=DIR or --with-libtermcap-prefix to 'configure'. | |
| * GNU libiconv | |
| + Not needed on systems with glibc, on macOS, and NetBSD. | |
