PDCurses for Win32
|
||
|
==================
|
||
|
|
||
|
This directory contains PDCurses source code files specific to Win32
|
||
|
console mode (Win9x/Me/NT/2k/XP/Vista).
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Building
|
||
|
--------
|
||
|
|
||
|
. 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.)
