The screen and user interaction is managed by the main thread. Other parts of calcurse (threads) wishing to use the screen or communicate with the user, must do it via the main thread. For this purpose the main input loop is extended with a message queue. A thread may insert a message in the queue. The main thread tests for messages before listening for user commands. If a message is present, it is displayed (in a popup window) for the user to acknowledge. Depending on the message other actions may be performed, e.g. the message could be turned into a "system appointment/event" and inserted among the usual appointments.

Building
Install the following build dependencies. If your distro segments development files from core packages (i.e., *-devel or *-dev packages), you may need to install those as well:
- gcc
- automake
- asciidoc
- gettext with development files
- ncurses with development files
If you are using a release tarball, the following commands can be used to build and install calcurse:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
Note that make install needs to be run as root. When working on a Git
checkout, you need to run ./autogen.sh before ./configure.
