- Welcome to PDCurses !
-
- This file provides information on installing PDCurses on DOS, OS/2,
- Win95/NT or for X11 and building the PDCurses library.
-
- The first step is to unpack the archive. (You've already done that!)
-
- Next, go to the section below for the platform you intend to build
- the software on, and follow the steps there.
-
- OS2
- ---
- . cd to the OS2 directory in the directory in which PDCurses was
- unpacked.
- . You will find a number of .mak files in this directory, one for
- each supported compiler. These following lists the make file
- and compiler:
-
- gccos2.mak - emx 0.9b+
- iccos2.mak - C Set/2
- bccos2.mak - Borland C++ 2.0
- wccos2.mak - Watcom 10.6
- mscos2.mak - Microsoft C 6.0
-
- . Create a directory somewhere in which you want the object, library
- and demo executables to be built.
- . cd to that directory.
- . Copy the appropriate makefile to this directory.
- . Edit this makefile, and make a few changes to paths that point to
- the location of the PDCurses code and your compiler. The lines
- you need to change are:
-
- PDCURSES_HOME=
- CC_HOME=
-
- . Make the required targets using the options specified at the top
- of the makefile.
-
- . Thats it!
-
-
- DOS
- ---
- . cd to the DOS directory in the directory in which PDCurses was
- unpacked.
- . You will find a number of .mak files in this directory, one for
- each supported compiler. These following lists the make file
- and compiler:
-
- gccdos.mak - DJGPP V2
- bccdos.mak - Borland C++ 3.0+
- wccdos16.mak - Watcom 10.6 (16bit)
- wccdos4g.mak - Watcom 10.6 (32bit)
- mscdos.mak - Microsoft C 6.0
-
- . Create a directory somewhere in which you want the object, library
- and demo executables to be built.
- . cd to that directory.
- . Copy the appropriate makefile to this directory.
- . Edit this makefile, and make a few changes to paths that point to
- the location of the PDCurses code and your compiler. The lines
- you need to change are:
-
- PDCURSES_HOME=
- CC_HOME=
- MODEL= (if your compiler supports memory models)
-
- . Make the required targets using the options specified at the top
- of the makefile.
-
- . Thats it!
-
-
- Win95/NT
- --------
- . cd to the WIN32 directory in the directory in which PDCurses was
- unpacked.
- . You will find a number of .mak files in this directory, one for
- each supported compiler. These following lists the make file
- and compiler:
-
- gccwin32.mak - Cygnus GNU Compiler
- bccwin32.mak - Borland C++ 4.0.2+
- vcwin32.mak - Visual C++ 2.0+
- wccwin32.mak - Watcom 10.6
-
- . Create a directory somewhere in which you want the object, library
- and demo executables to be built.
- . cd to that directory.
- . Copy the appropriate makefile to this directory.
- . Edit this makefile, and make a few changes to paths that point to
- the location of the PDCurses code and your compiler. The lines
- you need to change are:
-
- PDCURSES_HOME=
- CC_HOME=
-
- . Make the required targets using the options specified at the top
- of the makefile.
-
- . Thats it!
-
-
- X11
- ---
-
- To install PDCurses for X (aka XCurses), follow these instructions.
-
- Run the configure script that is in the PDCurses-x.x directory. This
- will interrogate your system and check that you have the necessary
- support XCurses requires.
-
- If configure cannot find your X include files or X libraries, you can
- specify the paths with --x-includes=inc_path or --x-libraries=lib_path
- as arguments to the configure script.
-
- configure also recognises the --with-debug[=yes|no] switch. By default
- the library and demo programs are built with the optimiser switch; -O.
- You can turn this off and debugging (-g) on by adding --with-debug to the
- configure command.
-
- Once configure has run, run "make". This should make the XCurses library,
- the panels library and all demo programs in the demos directory.
-
- Alternately, you can cd to "pdcurses" directory, and run "make" from
- here. This will build libpdcurses.a only.
