No, because the headers that came with 5.7-2 had macros that turned his code 'curscr' into 'ncwrap_curscr()'. In the briefly released 5.7-1 the macros turned 'curscr' into '_nc_curscr()'. So, the only way his object code would be "looking" for the symbol "_curscr" would be if he was using the headers from ncurses-5.5-3 or older. But the headers and import libraries are distributed in the same package; it's not possible to have the headers from one release and the import libraries from a different one. Unless you do $ gcc -o foo.o -c foo.c and then upgrade ncurses-devel, before doing $ gcc -o foo.exe foo.o -lncurses But Alexey did the compile and link all in one command. That's a REALLY fast setup.exe... That's why I was confused. But, 'tis working now, with 5.7-3.
