PDCurses for OS2GUI
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
This directory contains PDCurses source code files specific to OS/2
|
|
graphics mode.
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
- Choose the appropriate makefile for your compiler:
|
|
|
|
Makefile - EMX 0.9d+
|
|
Makefile.wcc - Open Watcom 1.9+
|
|
|
|
- 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 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:
|
|
|
|
wmake -f Makefile.wcc WIDE=Y
|
|
|
|
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. This was originally provided to get around
|
|
poor support for UTF-8 in the Win32 console:
|
|
|
|
wmake -f Makefile.wcc WIDE=Y UTF8=Y
|
|
|
|
OS2GUI doesn't have the same limitations as the OS/2 console flavor,
|
|
but UTF-8 and non-UTF-8 versions are still available. If nothing else,
|
|
this means that if you've built a OS/2 console PDCurses DLL with any
|
|
configuration, you can build a matching OS2GUI DLL and swap between
|
|
console or GUI PDCurses just by swapping DLLs.
|
|
|
|
You can also use the optional parameter "DLL=Y" with Visual C++,
|
|
MinGW or Cygwin, to build the library as a DLL:
|
|
|
|
nmake -f Makefile.vc WIDE=Y DLL=Y
|
|
|
|
When you build the library as a Windows DLL, you must always define
|
|
PDC_DLL_BUILD when linking against it. (Or, if you only want to use
|
|
the DLL, you could add this definition to your curses.h.)
