Hello,
I'd like to use readline features in my program but it seems to not
work as expected.
I use djgpp 2.04, readline 5.1 and pdcurses 3.4 for djgpp 2.04
Fisrt I tried to compile a small example:
gcc -Wall -O2 -o RLTEST.EXE RLTEST.C -lreadline -lpdcurses
It compiled OK but when I run it I cannot use backspace to edit my
input instead cursor jumps forward. Also key up/down works other than
I expected, instead listing history and replace current line it
appends.
I tried under pure DOS and windows - same.
When I compiled it under mingw32 with some older version of readline
(file dated 2002) it works fine under windows.
Is there some newer working port of readline for DJGPP?
