A makefile for PDCurses was on my todo list, I just have not gotten to
it yet.
BTW, orxcurses is very much a work in progress. I am adding new tests
almost every day and fixing bugs as I find them (and there have been
some!). But, with some minor exceptions, it does seem workable and usable.
I just found a bug yesterday that causes test11-1.rex (not commited yet)
not to work. It has to do with the prefresh() API. I cannot seem to get
it to work on my system. Right now I am working around the bug by
implementing the method as a copywin() and refresh() combination. I must
be missing something obvious but I am sure not seeing it.
And yes, I would like to see your make file for PDcruses. Go ahead and
commit it to the incubator and we can all take a look at it.

David,
I was curious to see orxcurses in action under Windows, so I wrote a
makefile.win which depends on PDCurses.
Looks good and working well !
All the tests are ok (positions, colors, scrolling...) except the
following points :
The tilde is echoed ^@ and I must hit another key to see it : it's
because it's a combining letter on my french keyboard. Normally, I
shouldn't see the ^@, but otherwise the test is ok : the input is
stopped as expected by the tests.
3-5 remains in highlighted color (colors are ok, but brighter)
7-5 is KO : nothing displayed
7-8 and 7-8a is KO : arrow keys have no effect
8-2 and 8-2a : the '+' of numeric keyboard is not detected
I had to bring a few changes to orxncurses.cpp because of char buf[n +
1] which is not supported by MSVC.
And I had to create the file ncurses.h (created in the directory of
PDCurses) which contains
----------[begin]
#define NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 1
#include <curses.h>
#define NCURSES_VERSION curses_version()
#define NCURSES_CAST(type,value) (type)(value)
#define NCURSES_ACS(c) (acs_map[NCURSES_CAST(unsigned char,c)])
// returns the attribute used for the soft keys.
inline int slk_attr() { return 0; } // To investigate !
----------[end]
NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION must be defined otherwise getmouse does not
compile. But by doing that, the PDCurses' traditional mouse API is not
used... Maybe to rework.
For slk_attr(), I did not find something equivalent in PDCurses, so I
return 0 but that's probably wrong.
And something to watch : I replaced char buf[n + 1] by a call to
NewBufferString(n...) --> maybe (n+1) is needed.
Let me know if you are interested by a commit or a patch
(orxncurses.cpp and makefile.win).
