I'm trying to convert some old programs I wrote a long time ago from
box drawing with OEM fonts to uses PDCurses with SDL2 and UTF-8 box
drawing and block element characters (
https://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl ). Was just
wondering what's been investigated for improving lining up

No just 3 include files (C files). One could even possibly distribute
them with pdcurses if desired.

I've been experimenting with the BSD versions of libform and libmenu
further. They need some patching, but they do work with pdcurses. Is
anyone interested in using these libraries with pdcurses besides me?
Seems easier to port certain pdcurses applications if you have them.
Sincerely,
Laura
Has anyone had any luck finding and using form and menu libraries with
pdcurses? The ncurses versions have too many ncurses specific
constructs in them. However, form and menu libraries that aren't
specific to a version of curses might port more easily. I ran across
the NetBSD version of the lib

I'm trying to double-check that the keys are mapping properly for SDL.
The only documentation on keys that I could turn up was at:

key combinations. curses.h h
Some of the programs I've recently tried to build with pdcurses are
using stdbool.h and its definition of bool. There's code in
pdcurses.h that attempts to work-around the situation in C++ where
bool might already be defined. However, don't see anything to deal
with the issue for C. Has anyone e
I compared the demos using SDL1 and SDL2 with SDL2_TTF support.
Results are very similar. Ran the clipboard test in testcurs and it
works very nicely with SDL2 clipboard support. The biggest design
issue I see is Unicode support. Looking through the code, chtype is
set by default to handle 16 bi

SDL is a graphics library that has been ported to several platforms.
PDCurses already has support for SDL 1.2.x built in. However, around

Found the problem. One of my routines was accidentally converting the

unsigned char. Strange it worked okay either way on Watcom though.

I'm having trouble getting the extended character set drawn to the screen

Borland and mingw are showing solid boxes instead of the characters above

I remember someone posted to the list a while back asking about mouse

If not, was thinking of looking into what it might take to add it to the

I haven't been keeping up with Mingw lately, but I used to be in charge of

Was trying to compile a program that used
mvaddnstr and the compiler and linker couldn't find
it in the library. I'm using mingw32 on Windows.
Looked to me like mvaddnstr wasn't included in the defines
in the curses.h file.

I was able to get PDCurses to compile and link and to get the sample
programs up using mingw32 (gcc 2.95).
The following defines that used to be in Windows32/defines.h egcs 1.1.2 need
to be included when compiling. I temporarily placed them in wincon.h.
/* MOUSE_EVENT_RECORD structure */
#def
If it helps any, here are the missing defines from egcs 1.1.2
Windows32/defines.h for the mouse:
/* MOUSE_EVENT_RECORD structure */
#define FROM_LEFT_1ST_BUTTON_PRESSED(1)
#define RIGHTMOST_BUTTON_PRESSED(2)
#define FROM_LEFT_2ND_BUTTON_PRESSED(4)
#define FROM_LEFT_3RD_BUTTON_PRES
I was recently having similar problems with an Open Source telnet program.
The Windows headers have changed between egcs 1.1.2 and gcc 2.95. They are
now supposed to be closer to the Win32 standard. Defines like
FROM_LEFT_1ST_BUTTON_PRESSED and RIGHTMOST_BUTTON_PRESSED were in the
Windows32\def
