First of all djgpp does not come with curses directly. You can download the library pdcurses vers 2.2. headers curses.h panel.h go into the include dir libraries libcurso.a libpano.a go into the "LIB" dir. then link with -lcurso and or -lpano rather than -lcurses or -lpanel since these library binaries have different names than the standard curses library file. Also compiling under CPP is tricky under DJGPP. A must for using a string class and curses together (I recommend this highly). A simple fix is as follows. copy curses.h to cppcurs.h edit cppcurs.h Add the following lines to the top of cppcurs.h #define bool unsigned char #define CPLUSPLUS 1 Then change the line (new line number 428) to look like this. //typedef unsigned char bool; /* PDCurses Boolean type */ (Simply commenting the line out.) Now just use #include <cppcurs.h> instead of #include <curses.h> for your cpp programs. And continue to use #include <curses.h> for your c programs they are not interchangeable. Compile both ways with -lcurso. There you go... 2 Days of work free of charge to you. Hope someone will return the favor. PS: I guess you can consider me the current maintainer of PDCURSES however I do not know how to sign up for the job.. Anyway this will work for ya, trust me. Have a good day.
