## Building
The only dependency is `ncurses`. The makefile asks for `-lncursesw` but unicode is not yet used, so `-lncurses` should be fine. `ncurses` is almost guaranteed preinstalled on your system.
`bbs` depends only upon `ncurses`.
The program is standardized on c99. It should run fine on c89, but there will be warnings. You'll have to edit the makefile to request c89 from `gcc`.
To build, run `make`. It will drop an executable named `bbs` in the current folder.
The makefile has the additional command `make run`, which just launches the program after compilation.
`make` builds the program, `make run` will make and then run the program, and `make clean` will clean up the build directory.
