Choose the appropriate makefile for your compiler: + + bccwin32.mak - Borland C++ 4.0.2+ + dmcwin32.mak - Digital Mars + gccwin32.mak - Cygnus GNU Compiler + lccwin32.mak - LCC-Win32 + mingwin32.mak - MinGW + vcwin32.mak - Microsoft Visual C++ 2.0+ + wccwin32.mak - Watcom 10.6+ + +. Optionally, you can build in a different directory than the platform + directory by setting PDCURSES_SRCDIR to point to the directory where + you unpacked PDCurses, and changing to your target directory: + + set PDCURSES_SRCDIR=c:\pdcurses + + This won't work with the LCC or Digital Mars makefiles, nor will the + options described below. + +. Build it: + + make -f makefilename + + (For Watcom, use "wmake" instead of "make"; for MSVC, "nmake".) You'll + get the libraries (pdcurses.lib or .a, depending on your compiler; and + panel.lib or .a), the demos (*.exe), and a lot of object files. Note + that the panel library is just a copy of the main library, provided + for convenience; both panel and curses functions are in the main + library. + + You can also give the optional parameter "WIDE=Y", to build the + library with wide-character (Unicode) support: + + make -f mingwin32.mak WIDE=Y + + When built this way, the library is not compatible with Windows 9x, + unless you also link with the Microsoft Layer for Unicode (not + tested). + + Another option, "UTF8=Y", makes PDCurses ignore the system locale, and + treat all narrow-character strings as UTF-8. This option has no effect + unless WIDE=Y is also set. Use it to get around the poor support for + UTF-8 in the Win32 console: + + make -f mingwin32.mak WIDE=Y UTF8=Y + + You can also use the optional parameter "DLL=Y" with Visual C++, + MinGW or Cygwin, to build the library as a DLL: + + nmake -f vcwin32.mak WIDE=Y DLL=Y + + When you build the library as a Windows DLL, you must always define + PDCURSES_DLL_BUILD when linking against it. (Or, if you only want to + use the DLL, you could add this definition to your curses.h.) + + +Distribution Status +------------------- + +The files in this directory are released to the Public Domain. + + +Acknowledgements +---------------- + +Generic Win32 port was provided by Chris Szurgot <szurgot@itribe.net> |
