A day begins on midnight (inclusive) and ends on midnight (exclusive). A day as a whole is represented by the initial midnight, i.e. time-of-day is 00:00. On load of recurrent appointments (but not events) time-of-day for the until day is set to 23:59. For a newly created recurrent appointment the setting depends on the input method: time-of-day is set to 00:00 if until day is given as a date (day, month and year), but to time-of-day for the start day if given as an offset (+dd). The resulting behaviour is only visible in interactive use of calcurse as proved by the following scenario. 1) Create an appointment with start time 12:00, end time 11:59 (multi day). 2) Turn it into a recurrent appointment of type daily, frequency 3, until day +3. The appointment is correctly displayed with two 2-day occurrences three days apart. 3) Edit the appointment and select Repetition. Accept existing type, frequency and end day (now as a date). The second day of the second occurrence disappears. 4) Repeat 3), but set the end day as an offset (+3). The second day of the second occurrence reappears. The inconsistencies have been eliminated, and time-of-day for the until day is now always 00:00. Also, until day may equal start day, so midnights should be compared.

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
.
