PDCurses for DOS
================
This directory contains PDCurses source code files specific to DOS.
Building
--------
. Choose the appropriate makefile for your compiler:
bccdos.mak - Borland C++ 3.0+
gccdos.mak - DJGPP V2
mscdos.mak - Microsoft C
wccdos16.mak - Watcom 10.6+ (16-bit)
wccdos4g.mak - Watcom 10.6+ (32-bit)
. For 16-bit compilers, you can change the memory MODEL in the makefile.
(Large model is the default, and recommended.)
. 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
. Build it:
make -f makefile
(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.
Distribution Status
