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 - Open Watcom 1.8+ (16-bit)
  wccdos4g.mak - Open Watcom 1.8+ (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

The files in this directory are released to the Public Domain.
