Re: [PDCurses] Update to Win32a posted

The only other flavor of PDCurses for which this is true is the X11 one, and there are plenty of programs out there (including most of the demo ones) that don't handle user resizing. In Win32a, if the user resized a window and the resulting KEY_RESIZE message wasn't handled, you could get garbage or crashes. I fixed this. But I then made non-user-resizable windows the default. If you want to have user resizable windows, you have to set ttytype[0] = 1; Looks magical. Is it possible to make it a property of the window or more obvious API switch? -- anatoly t.

I finally got around to looking at Frank Palazzolo's CVS to git conversion and was satisfied with it, so I forked it on GitHub, and cloned it to SourceForge. The old CVS repository is now gone. Further changes will be pushed to both SourceForge and GitHub. The missing link: https://github.com/wmcbrine/PDCurses All of this is great. -- anatoly t.

Shouldn't locating X11 libs be a common Linux task that doesn't rely on custom macros?

One could even possibly distribute > them with pdcurses if desired. Correct me if I wrong, but this is a ./configure done in C? And actually I don't understand what "a tool to help you configure projects" really means, because I am not familiar with autoconf (that's why I asked the question in the first place). So I see that C files already have #define mechanism inside, but it looks like C compilers can not agree what #define's to set and what do they mean. That's why users need to create #defines themselves and define the meaning for them. Am I right? Is there any attempt to define standard set for those #define's and their meaning across compilers? Then tools like autoconf are used to detect which #define is correct for specific system and set its value accordingly. Right? This is made by perl script named ./configure. Right? What is the role of cDetect then? Is it a C program that does the job of Perl ./configure? -- anatoly t.
[PDCurses] Continuous integration for Github
Hi, In https://github.com/wmcbrine/PDCurses/pull/3 pull request there is a support for automatically running build on every commit and submitted pull request. This makes it easier for contributor to see if their Windows fixes break something on Linux and vice versa. -- anatoly t.
