ncurses output does not display in debug console [message #225318]

I have a very simple 'Hello World' application that uses the ncurses
ascii "graphics" library.

My program, when run in an xterm, produces the output I would expect.

When I run the same program in the debugger, the console does not display
text printed with printw() and other ncurses functions. It does echo
characters from getch() in a funny lime green. The printw() and other
functions do not return errors.

What do I need to do to see that display in the debug console in Eclipse?

Thanks

Eric

You need a terminal emulator. This is not supported by the eclipse
console, although there has been some effort in this direction:
