I downloaded the version compiled for VC++ off of:
http://www.lightlink.com/hessling/PDCurses/
I then copied:
curses.h
=> C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\include
panel.h => C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\include
curses.lib
=> C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\lib
panel.lib => C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\lib
pdcurses.lib => C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\lib
I couldn't see where to put curses.dll so I left it alone. I then went
to compile one of the test applications [from /demos in the uncompiled
distribution of PDcurses, available at the URL above], fireworks.c from
the source distribution to see if things were working, only to get this:
firework.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _endwin
firework.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _wclrtobot
firework.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _wmove
... [several more errors, too long to paste, 14 or so total?]
I also tried testcurs.c which gives even more errors like this:
C:\unzipped\pdcurs24\demos\testcurs.c(388) : warning C4013: 'isprint'
undefined; assuming extern returning int
C:\unzipped\pdcurs24\demos\testcurs.c(795) : warning C4013: 'strlen'
undefined; assuming extern returning int
Linking...
[linking gives 70 errors ... it not finding isprint & strlen is fairly
disturbing in itself, to be honest...]
I read the documentation [and all the source files], but it just didn't
say anything about all this, it assumed it hadn't been compiled yet and
didn't really say anything about what to do afterwards. What am I doing
wrong here? Are those test applications not portable, or did I install
this incorrectly, or? Maybe I'm just doing something stupid, but if so,
I can't figure it out...
