UltraDefrag4Linux fails to link on Gentoo Linux:

/usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.6 belongs to the following ncurses package version:

[wschlich@zephyr(pts/12):src]$ qfile -v /usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.6
sys-libs/ncurses-6.4_p20240414: /usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.6 -> libtinfo.so.6.4

Thank you for your interest. I mostly built this repository because I wanted to see what if any Features where added in the Windows version. But I realized, that they just added a UI on Top and that is it.

The only addition of mine is adding colors to the console output: 6a6b322

I do not have gentoo experience nor the time to support it. I would be happy to merge any fixes, when you find them though.

@749 It's good to hear that the defrag code itself hasn't changed. For other distros, e.g. for nixos there are also packagibg requestsaround: NixOS/nixpkgs#242083

Thanks for you work !

@derjohn I've added a build using autotools, would you be able to retry the build on gentoo?

@wschlich Gentoo is your turn !
