OK, I just tried the precompiled one, pdcur24b.zip.. Unzipped it in the
djgpp dir (some files werent put in the right place so I moved em, like
lib/libpdcurses.a should have been
lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-msdosdjgpp/3.2.1/libpdcurses.a) but I still get the
same result, i'll try compiling the pdcurses from pdcur24s.zip.. I
presume I compile with gccdos.mak?
