PDCurses for DOS

This directory contains PDCurses source code files specific to DOS.

Building

• Choose the appropriate makefile for your compiler:

    Makefile     - DJGPP
    Makefile.bcc - Borland C++
    Makefile.wcc - Watcom

• For 16-bit compilers, you can change the memory MODEL as a command- line option. (Large model is the default, and recommended.) With Watcom, specifying "MODEL=f" (flat) will automatically switch to a 32-bit build.

• 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".) You'll get the library (pdcurses.lib or .a, depending on your compiler) and a lot of object files. Add the target "demos" to build the sample programs.
