I've compiled pdcurses 2.5 already and yes I'm
willing to help. There's something to notice, though.
Some of the tests for correct functionality (testcurs)
fail. The intro and the pad test for example. The
example apps (xmas, newdemo, firework) work
though. I tried to compile testcurs with the
prebuild DJGPP port of 2.4 - same results!
(tests were made under WinMe BTW)
So it seems that this problem was ignored last time.
Should it be ignored again?
Building and packaging are things I can do.
But for fixing pdcurses you'll need to find somebody
else.
