Ncurses build fine under Windows using mingw-w64 compiler. You can build nurses-5.9 version but it can be only builded as static libraries or get develop version of ncurses from here: http://invisible-island.net/datafiles/current/ncurses.tar.gz Develop version can be builded as shared libraries. Configure options you can see here, for example: https://github.com/Alexpux/mingw-builds/blob/develop/scripts/ncurses.sh#L57 -- O< ascii ribbon - stop html email! - www.asciiribbon.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
