Can't compile Doomsday.

I keep getting an error when trying to compile the engine. It gives me this error.

Which Curses Library will I need to download? I'm using Ubuntu 9.04.

Anybody know which Curses I need to get from the repository.

Curses is only used on the *nix platforms. As the Windows dev, I don't have any experience with this but I would suggest you try the latest package and see how it goes.

Should be libncurses5-dev

EDIT: Just spotted CMakeLists.txt alongside the doomsday folder. It's supposed to be in the doomsday folder?

Just for reference, how I set it up on mine:
$ tar -xvf deng-1.9.0-beta6.1.tar.gz
$ cd deng-1.9.0-beta6.1/doomsday/my (create "my" if it doesn't exist)
$ cmake ..
(If it fails, add forgotten dependencies, repeat)
$ make

Then to install it to my computer:
$ sudo make install

I don't know how to set up the frontend, ie: Snowberry.

I suggest you use Yagisan's Ubuntu doomsday repo

This PPA no longer has the do0msday stuff in it.

Anyone got the DEB?
