PDCurses for DOS
================
This directory contains PDCurses source code files specific to the
VGA-capable DOS port.
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.
You can also give the optional parameter "WIDE=Y", to build the
library with wide-character (Unicode) support:
wmake -f Makefile.wcc WIDE=Y
(WIDE=Y is untested on the Borland compiler.)
The font can be set via the environment variable PDC_FONT. The font must
be in the PSF format, version 2.
